Nightingales Home Care

Nightingales Home Care is a home care agency based in Gloucester, in the Gloucestershire 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 Gloucester 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, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Nightingale's Care (Gloucester). The agency has been registered since June 2011.

At its latest inspection, published February 2019, the CQC rated Nightingales Home Care 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.
