Q Care Assist

Q Care Assist is a home care agency based in Nottingham, 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 Nottingham 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 and people with mental health needs. The agency has been registered since October 2021.

At its latest inspection, published April 2023, the CQC rated Q Care Assist Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
