Silverstars Care

Silverstars Care is a home care agency based in Sherborne, in the Dorset 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 Sherborne 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 and younger adults. The agency has been registered since February 2018.

At its latest inspection, published April 2020, the CQC rated Silverstars Care 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.
