Registering Your Domiciliary Care Agency With the CQC
To legally run a domiciliary care service, you must be registered with the CQC. Regulated activities such as personal care, including washing, dressing, and medication support, cannot be delivered without approval.
For this reason, QCS provides the foundations you need to register successfully and to maintain services that are safe, caring, effective, responsive, and well-led, not just at registration, but long after you open.
