Pharos East Midlands

Pharos East Midlands is a home care agency based in Tamworth, in the Staffordshire 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 Tamworth 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, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of City and County Healthcare Group, which has 158 branches in England. The agency has been registered since January 2026.

Pharos East Midlands 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.
