CQC / Home Healthcare
It’s important to realise that CQC registration is based on the activities that you provide – rather than your profession.
We can provide expert advice on care home operations whether you are: acquiring, or disposing of, a care home; facing a legal issue or dispute; or seeking legal support for its day-to-day running.
