Pentland Close

Pentland Close is a home care agency based in Reading, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Reading 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 and people with mental health needs. It is run by Cedar Hope Care Services. The agency has been registered since October 2020.

Pentland Close 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.
