Belsize Village, London, 19 November 2012: Penrose Care has today been successfully registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), England’s independent regulator of health and adult social care, to provide personal care via a domiciliary care service or “home care” as it is commonly known. The registration follows the CQC’s 07 November 2012 Site Visit & Fit Person Interview of Penrose Care’s premises and registered manager, respectively, and notice of decision of 13 November 2012. Penrose Care applied for registration as a new service provider on 23 Oct 2012.

“With the CQC providing us their notice of decision just three weeks after our registration application for a process which can take up to eight weeks, we are extraordinarily pleased with the speed at which the CQC registered Penrose Care as a new home care provider in England. We see this as a testament of the importance of our aims to raise the standards in England’s social care sector,” said Robert Stephenson-Padron, Penrose Care’s managing director. “With registration achieved, we look forward with excitement to the launch of our superior quality home care services in the first quarter of 2013.”
