It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Peterborough 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 Deafblind. The agency has been registered since September 2019.

At its latest inspection, published July 2021, the CQC rated Deafblind UK 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.
