Grace Care UK

Grace Care UK is a home care agency based in Leicester, 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 Leicester office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults and people with a physical disability. It is run by Graceland (). The agency has been registered since June 2014.

At its latest inspection, published June 2019, the CQC rated Grace Care UK 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.
