London

London is a home care agency based in Southall, in the Ealing 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 Southall 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 and people with mental health needs. It is run by The Social Care. The agency has been registered since January 2018.

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