Mencap South Notts Services

Mencap South Notts Services is a home care agency based in Nottingham, in the Derbyshire 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 Nottingham office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. It is part of Royal Mencap Society, which has 36 branches in England. The agency has been registered since April 2014.

Mencap South Notts Services 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.
