Pathway to Care

Pathway to Care is a home care agency based in Derby, 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 Derby 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 a sensory impairment. It is run by Mrs Belinda Louise Cameron. The agency has been registered since August 2019.

At its latest inspection, published May 2022, the CQC rated Pathway to Care 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.
