Helping Hands Cannock

Helping Hands Cannock is a home care agency based in Cannock, in the Staffordshire 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 Cannock 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 mental health needs. It is part of Midshires Care, which has 150 branches in England. The agency has been registered since March 2022.

Helping Hands Cannock has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.
