HOME CARING SERVICES

HOME CARING SERVICES is a home care agency based in Pontefract, in the Wakefield 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 Pontefract 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, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by HomeCaringServices. The agency has been registered since January 2015.

At its latest inspection, published January 2020, the CQC rated HOME CARING SERVICES 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.
