Surrey

Surrey is a home care agency based in Chessington, in the Kingston upon Thames 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 Chessington 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 learning disability or autism. It is run by Team Carita DCS. The agency has been registered since July 2017.

At its latest inspection, published March 2022, the CQC rated Surrey 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.
