Social Care Consortium

Social Care Consortium is a home care agency based in London, in the Barnet 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 London 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 and people with a learning disability or autism. The agency has been registered since May 2013.

At its latest inspection, published November 2022, the CQC rated Social Care Consortium 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.
