Gracious Care

Gracious Care is a home care agency based in Orpington, in the Bromley 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 Orpington 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 and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Gracious Care (Holdings). The agency has been registered since October 2020.

At its latest inspection, published May 2021, the CQC rated Gracious 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.
