Free Spirit Support Service

Free Spirit Support Service is a home care agency based in Retford, in the Nottinghamshire 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 Retford 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 and people with a physical disability. It is run by Free Spirit Support Services. The agency has been registered since August 2023.

At its latest inspection, published December 2021, the CQC rated Free Spirit Support Service Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
