About the serviceSW Domiciliary Care provides domiciliary care services to 26 people who require care and support 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.
