Senior Health Care Group

Senior Health Care Group is a home care agency based in Truro, in the Cornwall 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 Truro 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 learning disability or autism. The agency has been registered since February 2021.

At its latest inspection, published July 2023, the CQC rated Senior Health Care Group 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.
