DCI Care Ltd

DCI Care Ltd is a home care agency based in Torquay, in the Torbay 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 Torquay 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 learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by DCI Care. The agency has been registered since April 2021.

DCI Care Ltd has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.
