Oxfordshire

Oxfordshire 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, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is run by Direct Link Care. The agency has been registered since March 2020.

Oxfordshire 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.
