Link Support

Link Support is a home care agency based in Wokingham, 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 Wokingham office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, 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 The Link Nursing & Care Agency. The agency has been registered since June 2016.

At its latest inspection, published February 2020, the CQC rated Link Support Outstanding, which means the CQC found the service performing exceptionally well. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
