Swifthand Care Services Limited

Swifthand Care Services Limited is a home care agency based in London, in the Barnet 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 London 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, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Heritage Healthcare, which has 9 branches in England. The agency has been registered since September 2015.

Swifthand Care Services 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.
