Compare Care Limited

Compare Care Limited is a home care agency based in Crawley, in the West Sussex 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 Crawley 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, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Compare Care. The agency has been registered since October 2012.

At its latest inspection, published July 2022, the CQC rated Compare Care Limited 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.
