Sterling Support Services

Sterling Support Services is a home care agency based in Romford, in the Havering 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 Romford office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. It is run by Joyeux Homes. The agency has been registered since August 2016.

At its latest inspection, published September 2019, the CQC rated Sterling Support Services Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
