STANDBY24 LTD

STANDBY24 LTD is a home care agency based in London, in the Westminster 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, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Standby24. The agency has been registered since December 2023.

STANDBY24 LTD 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.

STANDBY24 LTD has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Westminster.
