Curagate Oxford

Curagate Oxford is a home care agency based in Oxford, in the Oxfordshire 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 Oxford 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 IQ Homecare. The agency has been registered since April 2019.

At its latest inspection, published August 2023, the CQC rated Curagate Oxford 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.
