It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Leeds office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults and people with mental health needs. It is part of Leeds City Council, which has 5 branches in England. The agency has been registered since September 2011.

At its latest inspection, published November 2018, the CQC rated Extra Care Service 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.
