The Care Company

The Care Company is a home care agency based in Tenterden, in the Kent 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 Tenterden 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 Mrs. Victoria Joan Burke. The agency has been registered since July 2015.

At its latest inspection, published October 2017, the CQC rated The Care Company 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.
