Royalcare- Thanet

Royalcare- Thanet is a home care agency based in Broadstairs, in the Kent 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 Broadstairs 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 mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Sreevijay, which has 4 branches in England. The agency has been registered since December 2020.

At its latest inspection, published May 2022, the CQC rated Royalcare- Thanet 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.
