Home's Best

Home's Best is a home care agency based in Preston, in the Lancashire 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 Preston 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. The agency has been registered since August 2019.

At its latest inspection, published May 2021, the CQC rated Home's Best 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.
