Thomas Homecare Ltd

Thomas Homecare Ltd is a home care agency based in Dawlish, in the Devon 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 Dawlish 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 a sensory impairment. It is run by Thomas Homecare. The agency has been registered since December 2019.

At its latest inspection, published October 2021, the CQC rated Thomas Homecare Ltd 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.
