Leadwood Care Limited

Leadwood Care Limited is a home care agency based in Rochester, in the Medway 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 Rochester 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 and people with a physical disability. It is run by Leadwood Care. The agency has been registered since December 2022.

Leadwood Care 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.
