Encounter Live-In Care Devon

Encounter Live-In Care Devon is a home care agency based in Tiverton, in the Devon 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 Tiverton 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 mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by The Encounter Group (Encounter Live-In-Care Specialists). The agency has been registered since November 2023.

Encounter Live-In Care Devon 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.
