Positive Steps Shropshire Limited

Positive Steps Shropshire Limited is a home care agency based in Shrewsbury, in the Shropshire 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 Shrewsbury 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 Positive Steps Shropshire. The agency has been registered since March 2020.

Positive Steps Shropshire Limited 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.
