Are all home care agencies in Kent CQC registered?
Every agency listed on CareAH is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) based on our most recent sync of the CQC public register. By law, any organisation providing regulated home care in England must be CQC registered. Agencies that lose CQC registration, or are rated Inadequate by the CQC, are removed from our platform when we next sync. Data from the CQC public register may be subject to delays outside our control — always verify an agency's current status at cqc.org.uk before arranging care.
