Rathbone Outreach

Rathbone Outreach is a home care agency based in London, in the Lambeth 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 London office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is run by Lambeth Elfrida Rathbone Society. The agency has been registered since December 2010.

At its latest inspection, published January 2024, the CQC rated Rathbone Outreach 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.
