Tender-Care Services Limited

Tender-Care Services Limited is a home care agency based in Bournemouth, in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes.

It is run by Tender Care Services. The agency has been registered since January 2011.

At its latest inspection, published September 2026, the CQC rated Tender-Care Services Limited 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.
