Featherbed Care

Featherbed Care is a home care agency based in Bristol, in the Bath and North East Somerset council area, 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 Bristol 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. The agency has been registered since June 2018.

At its latest inspection, published July 2019, the CQC rated Featherbed 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.
