Fanshawe Avenue

Fanshawe Avenue is a home care agency based in Barking, in the Barking and Dagenham 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 Barking 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, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Outreach Support Services. The agency has been registered since April 2016.

Fanshawe Avenue 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.
