Train2Care Academy

Train2Care Academy is a home care agency based in London, in the Lambeth 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 London 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 and people with a physical disability. The agency has been registered since December 2016.

At its latest inspection, published September 2018, the CQC rated Train2Care Academy 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.
