William Wood House

William Wood House is a home care agency based in Sudbury, in the Suffolk 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 Sudbury 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, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs. It is part of Orwell Housing Association, which has 16 branches in England. The agency has been registered since June 2011.

At its latest inspection, published July 2022, the CQC rated William Wood House 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.
