Bellastouch Ltd is a domiciliary care service located within the Borough of Greenwich. It provides personal care and support to people living within their own homes. Not everyone using Bellastouch Ltd may receive a regulated activity. CQC only inspects the service being received by people provided with personal care; that is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do, we also consider any wider social care provided. At the time of our inspection the service was providing support to one person.
