STAFFORDSHIRE

STAFFORDSHIRE is a home care agency based in Stoke-on-Trent, 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 Stoke-on-Trent 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 a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Ocearns Care Services. The agency has been registered since July 2022.

STAFFORDSHIRE has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.
