Standby Care Limited

Standby Care Limited is a home care agency based in London, in the Newham 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 sensory impairment. It is run by Standby Care. The agency has been registered since July 2022.

Standby Care Limited 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.
