Priority Home Care

Priority Home Care is a home care agency based in Wimborne, in the Dorset 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 Wimborne 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, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Priority Home Care Dorset. The agency has been registered since December 2018.

At its latest inspection, published August 2025, the CQC rated Priority Home 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.
