Why CQC registration matters for your family

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is England's independent regulator of health and social care. By law, any organisation providing home care must be registered with the CQC.

CareAH shows CQC-registered agencies only. We never show unregistered or non-compliant agencies — it's a hard gate, not a filter you have to apply yourself.
