Blessed Hearts Home Care

Blessed Hearts Home Care is a home care agency based in Birmingham, 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 Birmingham 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, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Surecare, which has 11 branches in England. The agency has been registered since June 2018.

At its latest inspection, published February 2022, the CQC rated Blessed Hearts Home Care 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.
