Spinc

Spinc is a home care agency based in Brighton, in the Brighton and Hove 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 Brighton office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Think Spinc. The agency has been registered since August 2017.

At its latest inspection, published July 2021, the CQC rated Spinc 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.
