Excellence in Care

Excellence in Care is a home care agency based in Berkeley, in the Gloucestershire 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 Berkeley 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, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since December 2021.

At its latest inspection, published January 2023, the CQC rated Excellence in Care 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.
