About
Unique Homecare Services Ltd is a home care agency based in Preston, Lancashire, providing care and support in people's own homes. It focuses on dementia and supports older people aged 65 and over, as well as people with mental health needs. Rather than sending a changing group of carers, the agency builds private care packages around each person's routines, relationships and quality of life, using a small, consistent team. Activity, nutrition, movement and mental stimulation are included within each package.
The Care Quality Commission rates the agency Good overall, with Good ratings for the safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led key questions (report published 2023).
What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 27 October 2023 · Last inspected 3 October 2023
