Oakleaf DCA

Oakleaf DCA is a home care agency based in Northampton, in the West Northamptonshire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Northampton office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults and people with a physical disability. It is part of CareTech Community Services, which has 13 branches in England. The agency has been registered since October 2024.

Oakleaf DCA 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.
