Woodlands Home Care

Woodlands Home Care is a home care agency based in Croesoswallt, in the Shropshire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Croesoswallt 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 mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Woodland Residential Care Home. The agency has been registered since March 2023.

Woodlands Home Care has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.
