Dinarie

Dinarie is a home care agency based in Battle, in the East Sussex 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 Battle office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people and younger adults. It is run by Mrs Mandy Turreff. The agency has been registered since June 2020.

At its latest inspection, published November 2021, the CQC rated Dinarie 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.
