London DCA

London DCA is a home care agency based in Teddington, in the Richmond upon Thames 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 Teddington office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us.

It is part of United Response, which has 19 branches in England. The agency has been registered since January 2026.

At its latest inspection, published June 2022, the CQC rated London DCA 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.
