Care Shield Services

Care Shield Services is a home care agency based in Stanmore, in the Harrow council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Stanmore office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since June 2018.

At its latest inspection, published October 2019, the CQC rated Care Shield Services Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
