Blossom Healthcare Solutions

Blossom Healthcare Solutions is a home care agency based in Harlow, in the Essex 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 Harlow 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 and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since April 2020.

At its latest inspection, published July 2022, the CQC rated Blossom Healthcare Solutions 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.
