Select Community Support

Select Community Support is a home care agency based in Cadishead, in the Salford council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Cadishead 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 and people with a learning disability or autism. It is run by Select Community Support-Services. The agency has been registered since May 2014.

At its latest inspection, published January 2020, the CQC rated Select Community Support 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.
