Gentle Folk Community Care

Gentle Folk Community Care is a home care agency based in Norwich, in the Norfolk 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 Norwich 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 August 2014.

At its latest inspection, published October 2025, the CQC rated Gentle Folk Community Care Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
