The Care Collection

The Care Collection is a home care agency based in Holmfirth, in the Kirklees 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 Holmfirth 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, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by CHJB. The agency has been registered since August 2017.

At its latest inspection, published November 2018, the CQC rated The Care Collection 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.
