Gogomadu Cares

Gogomadu Cares is a home care agency based in Kettering, in the North Northamptonshire 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 Kettering 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, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Gogomadu Care, which has 2 branches in England. The agency has been registered since June 2016.

Gogomadu Cares 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.
