Cera Cheshire

Cera Cheshire is a home care agency based in Crewe, in the Cheshire East council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Crewe 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 physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Cera Care, which has 114 branches in England. The agency has been registered since September 2013.

At its latest inspection, published February 2019, the CQC rated Cera Cheshire 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.
