Premier Community

Premier Community is a home care agency based in Ilkeston, in the Derbyshire 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 Ilkeston 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 and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Premier Nursing Agency, which has 6 branches in England. The agency has been registered since November 2018.

At its latest inspection, published July 2019, the CQC rated Premier Community 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.
