Hafod Care in the Community

Hafod Care in the Community is a home care agency based in Sutton Coldfield, in the Birmingham 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 Sutton Coldfield 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. It is run by Hafod Care Organisation. The agency has been registered since March 2011.

At its latest inspection, published January 2021, the CQC rated Hafod Care in the Community 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.
