Eastdale Healthcare

Eastdale Healthcare is a home care agency based in Kettering, 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 Kettering 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 Mr Shepherd Hlubanyana. The agency has been registered since May 2021.

At its latest inspection, published October 2022, the CQC rated Eastdale Healthcare 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.
