Coastal Care Agency

Coastal Care Agency is a home care agency based in Carnforth, 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 Carnforth office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people and younger adults. It is run by Mrs Jane Archer. The agency has been registered since January 2011.

At its latest inspection, published March 2018, the CQC rated Coastal Care Agency 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.
