The Sanctuary Community Care

The Sanctuary Community Care is a home care agency based in Kettering, in the North Northamptonshire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Kettering 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, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Mrs Christine Ann Hotchin. The agency has been registered since January 2016.

At its latest inspection, published May 2022, the CQC rated The Sanctuary Community Care 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.
