About the service Salisbury and Romsey Care Ltd. is a domiciliary care service providing personal care to 14 people at the time of the inspection.
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.
