The Old Mill

The Old Mill is a home care agency based in Spalding, in the Lincolnshire 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 Spalding 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 and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Haven Care Solutions. The agency has been registered since October 2021.

At its latest inspection, published May 2023, the CQC rated The Old Mill Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
