Dunamis Social Care

Dunamis Social Care is a home care agency based in Wellingborough, in the North Northamptonshire 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 Wellingborough office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for people living with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since May 2017.

At its latest inspection, published August 2023, the CQC rated Dunamis Social Care Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
