Phronesis Support Services

Phronesis Support Services is a home care agency based in Scunthorpe, in the North Lincolnshire council area, 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 Scunthorpe 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 mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since February 2023.

Phronesis Support Services 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.
