Gentle Shores Care

Gentle Shores Care is a home care agency based in Southport, in the Sefton council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Southport 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 mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since July 2024.
