The director of the company based in Somerset pleaded guilty to providing personal care in people’s own homes without registration.

An operator of a domiciliary care agency based in Nottinghamshire has been ordered to £7,171 after admitting to providing care illegally.

The provider falsely stated that it was approved by the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes.

The agency provided personal care for nearly a year without a CQC registration and caused "significant harm" to one service user, a court heard.
