Bellus Care and Support

Bellus Care and Support is a home care agency based in Longfield, in the Kent council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Longfield office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, people living with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability. It is run by Bellus Care. The agency has been registered since February 2022.

Bellus Care and Support has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.
