Special Social Care Limited

Special Social Care Limited is a home care agency based in Wakefield, 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 Wakefield 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. It is run by Special Social Care. The agency has been registered since March 2024.

Special Social Care Limited 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.
