About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 6 June 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Pringles Care Services - Central is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care and support to people in their own homes in the London Boroughs of Barnet and Ealing. At the time of the inspection the agency was supporting 28 people. Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided.
