OHCI Dorset

OHCI Dorset is a home care agency based in Ferndown, in the Dorset 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 Ferndown office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Oxford Human Capital Incorporated, which has 2 branches in England. The agency has been registered since January 2025.

OHCI Dorset 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.
