Salopian Care

Salopian Care is a home care agency based in Market Drayton, in the Shropshire council area, 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 Market Drayton 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 a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since January 2011.

At its latest inspection, published October 2019, the CQC rated Salopian Care Outstanding, which means the CQC found the service performing exceptionally well. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
