Track record
Registered in July 2025, it has 1 year on the CQC register.
CQC has published 2 overall ratings for it (2016–2019), starting at Good and staying Good every time.
No new overall rating has been published for 7 years. CQC re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating is not a bad sign in itself, but staff and management may have changed.
Note that a different provider ran the service when it was rated; the current one has not been inspected here so far.
The company behind The Local Care
The Local Care is the only service its provider, Mrs Hayley Harper, runs, so it is an independent, single-site operator rather than part of a chain.
