Domiciliary Care Registration

CQC registration for domiciliary care agencies delivering personal care in people’s own homes. We prepare the applications and the evidence behind them.

How we get you registered

Scope and plan. We confirm your service model, client group and timeline, then agree the scope of work before anything starts.

Build the application. We draft your applications, statement of purpose and supporting evidence, and get them ready to submit.

Submit and support. We support you through submission, the assessment, and the questions CQC asks along the way.

Not sure you need to register at all?

Some services genuinely do not. It is worth ten minutes before you start an application.

What is included

CQC · personal care in people’s own homes.

Provider and registered manager applications

Both applications prepared together, so they describe the same service in the same terms.

The personal care regulated activity

Registered for what you will actually deliver, scoped against your client group rather than your ambition.

Statement of purpose

Written to your service — area, client group, staffing model — rather than adapted from a template.

Policies and evidence

Mapped to the CQC fundamental standards, in the form an inspector expects to be shown.

Recruitment, training and call monitoring

The evidence that shows how you will know what is happening in someone’s home when nobody from the office is there.

Interview preparation

The fit person interview, run first by us. Interview preparation.

Before you commit

Domiciliary care is the cheapest regulated service to start and the hardest to staff. The registration is the straightforward part; recruitment and retention are what decide whether the business works.

Think about geography before you apply. A service covering too wide an area spends its margin on travel time and cannot supervise properly — and CQC will ask how you intend to.

Fees are quoted before any work starts. Nothing on this page is an offer.

Tell us where you will operate and who for.

That is enough for us to tell you what the application needs and how long it will take. Thirty minutes, no charge.
