Laura Cares

Laura Cares is a home care agency based in Windsor, in the Windsor and Maidenhead 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 Windsor 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 and younger adults. The agency has been registered since December 2019.

At its latest inspection, published October 2022, the CQC rated Laura Cares Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
