Easterside Community Hub

Easterside Community Hub is a home care agency based in Middlesbrough, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Middlesbrough 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 and people with a physical disability. It is run by Hand 2 Hold. The agency has been registered since March 2017.

At its latest inspection, published January 2024, the CQC rated Easterside Community Hub 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.
