Symbiotic Homecare

Symbiotic Homecare is a home care agency based in Blackburn, in the Blackburn with Darwen council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Blackburn 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 mental health needs. It is run by Symbiotic Care. The agency has been registered since January 2025.

Symbiotic Homecare 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.
