Courage Limited

Courage Limited is a home care agency based in Luton, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Luton 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 Courage. The agency has been registered since March 2016.

At its latest inspection, published June 2024, the CQC rated Courage 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.
