Wave Hill

Wave Hill is a home care agency based in Dover, in the Kent 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 Dover 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, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Mrs Tina Dennison. The agency has been registered since July 2013.

At its latest inspection, published July 2019, the CQC rated Wave Hill 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.
