Rowans Domiciliary Agency

Rowans Domiciliary Agency is a home care agency based in St Agnes, in the Cornwall 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 St Agnes 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, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Mr & Mrs I J Hirsch. The agency has been registered since January 2011.

At its latest inspection, published February 2018, the CQC rated Rowans Domiciliary Agency 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.
