The company behind Leigh House

Leigh House is run by C J B Care Limited (company 06681374), incorporated in 2008, 6 years before this service registered with CQC.

At Companies House, the company is listed as active, its accounts are filed on time, it has 1 active director and there is no insolvency history.

Its registered business activity is care for people with learning disabilities, mental health problems or substance misuse and social work without accommodation for older and disabled people (which includes home care).

C J B Care Limited runs 3 CQC-registered services; 2 of the 2 with a rating are Good or Outstanding (100%), against 86% for the same mix of services across England.

All 3 are in Staffordshire, so it is a local operator rather than a national chain.
