Dorset Domiciliary Care Agency

Dorset Domiciliary Care Agency is a home care agency based in Christchurch, in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole 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 Christchurch office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us.

The agency has been registered since June 2014.
