STEPS

STEPS is a home care agency based in Doncaster, 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 Doncaster office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people and people living with dementia. It is run by Doncaster City Council. The agency has been registered since July 2013.

At its latest inspection, published May 2026, the CQC rated STEPS Outstanding, which means the CQC found the service performing exceptionally well. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
