Higham Carers Ltd

Higham Carers Ltd is a home care agency based in Rushden, 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 Rushden 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 Higham Carers. The agency has been registered since August 2023.

Higham Carers Ltd 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.
