About us

Anglia Case Management provides specialist services to both adults and children living with long-term disabilities. We are rated as an outstanding care provider by the CQC. We support our clients with recruitment, supervision and management of staff who then work solely with them, usually in their own homes, with our on-going support.

  • When you join us, you’ll discover a dedicated team committed to the wellbeing and care of those we support.
