Clear Pathway Care

Clear Pathway Care is a home care agency based in Poole, in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole 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 Poole 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 and people with mental health needs. The agency has been registered since March 2019.

At its latest inspection, published November 2020, the CQC rated Clear Pathway Care 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.
