Welcome Home

Welcome Home is a home care agency based in Sheerness, 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 Sheerness 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, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Neil Tucker. The agency has been registered since February 2011.

At its latest inspection, published October 2022, the CQC rated Welcome Home 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.
