London Care Responds

London Care Responds is a home care agency based in London, in the Lambeth council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its London 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. The agency has been registered since February 2018.

At its latest inspection, published February 2019, the CQC rated London Care Responds Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
