Comficare Ltd

Comficare Ltd is a home care agency based in Barnstaple, in the Devon 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 Barnstaple 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 and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Comficare. The agency has been registered since February 2016.

At its latest inspection, published June 2023, the CQC rated Comficare Ltd Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
