Shirecare

Shirecare is a home care agency based in Heanor, in the Derbyshire 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 Heanor 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. The agency has been registered since October 2023.

At its latest inspection, published December 2019, the CQC rated Shirecare 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.
