Caremax 24/7

Caremax 24/7 is a home care agency based in Preston, in the Lancashire 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 Preston office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since September 2023.

Caremax 24/7 has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.

Caremax 24/7 has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Lancashire.
