Findon

Findon is a home care agency based in Worthing, in the West Sussex 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 Worthing 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, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is run by Supporting Independence. The agency has been registered since March 2011.

At its latest inspection, published August 2020, the CQC rated Findon Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
