Community Spirited

Community Spirited is a home care agency based in East Cowes, in the Isle of Wight 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 East Cowes office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. It is run by Mrs Jane Belinda Goddard. The agency has been registered since June 2016.

At its latest inspection, published January 2020, the CQC rated Community Spirited 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.
