Orchids Care

Orchids Care is a home care agency based in Doncaster, 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 Doncaster 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, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. The agency has been registered since December 2020.

At its latest inspection, published July 2022, the CQC rated Orchids 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.
