About the service J24 Resourcing Limited is a domiciliary care service. It provides care for people living in their own houses and flats in Derbyshire. People are supported in their own homes so that they can live as independently as possible. CQC regulates the personal care and support. There were four people who received personal care at the time of the inspection. 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.
