Heart2Heart Homecare Services Limited is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care to 32 older people living in their own homes. Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided.

People told us the management team were approachable, dedicated and in regular contact to plan and review care. People told us they felt comfortable raising issues with the provider and communication between parties was good.
The registered manager took a hands-on approach and had a very good understanding of people’s needs. There were effective systems in place to monitor the quality of care and drive improvements in quality and safety.
