Excellent Posts Homecare

Excellent Posts Homecare is a home care agency based in Southampton, 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 Southampton office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Excellent Posts. The agency has been registered since September 2023.

Excellent Posts Homecare 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.
