Channel Community Care Ltd

Channel Community Care Ltd is a home care agency based in Folkestone, in the Kent 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 Folkestone 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 and younger adults. It is run by Channel Community Care. The agency has been registered since January 2024.

Channel Community Care Ltd 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.
