Wiltshire

Wiltshire is a home care agency based in Swindon, 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 Swindon 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 and younger adults. It is part of Merit Care, which has 2 branches in England. The agency has been registered since December 2023.

Wiltshire 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.
