It is run by A Caring Hand. The agency has been registered since September 2020.

At its latest inspection, published June 2023, the CQC rated A Caring Hand Ltd Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
