Homecare Plus Limited

Homecare Plus Limited is a home care agency based in Newcastle upon Tyne, in the North Tyneside council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Newcastle upon Tyne 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, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by HomeCare Plus. The agency has been registered since September 2014.

Homecare Plus Limited 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.
