Forest Gate

Forest Gate is a home care agency based in London, in the Newham 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 London 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. It is run by Sathi Care. The agency has been registered since April 2018.

At its latest inspection, published June 2022, the CQC rated Forest Gate 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.
