Person Centred Care

Person Centred Care is a home care agency based in Cheltenham, in the Gloucestershire 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 Cheltenham 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, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Person Centred Care Consultancy. The agency has been registered since October 2013.

At its latest inspection, published March 2020, the CQC rated Person Centred 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.
