Independence at home Limited

Independence at home Limited is a home care agency based in Halesowen, in the Dudley 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 Halesowen 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 Independence at home. The agency has been registered since August 2022.

Independence at home 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.
