Choosing home care agencies in Cheltenham
Home care agencies send care workers to help with washing, dressing, meals and medication in your own home. Ask about minimum visit lengths, how continuity of carers is maintained, what happens if a carer is late, and whether the agency works with your local council. The CQC rating shows how the agency performed at its last inspection.
