Newham

Newham is a home care agency based in London, in the Newham 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, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs. It is run by Maryland Care Agency. The agency has been registered since March 2012.

At its latest inspection, published October 2021, the CQC rated Newham Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
