It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Southampton office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us.

It is run by The Happy Healing Hut. The agency has been registered since October 2021.

At its latest inspection, published September 2023, the CQC rated BeHappy@Home Southampton Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve.
