UniqCare Islington

UniqCare Islington is a home care agency based in London, in the Islington 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, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. It is run by Unique Services Portfolio. The agency has been registered since July 2022.
