Soft Touch Care Services

Soft Touch Care Services is a home care agency based in Birmingham, 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 Birmingham 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. The agency has been registered since March 2023.

Soft Touch Care Services 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.

Soft Touch Care Services has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Birmingham.
