Damorcare

Damorcare is a home care agency based in Chelmsford, in the Essex 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 Chelmsford 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 learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. The agency has been registered since September 2014.

At its latest inspection, published July 2019, the CQC rated Damorcare 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.
