About the service Morning Hope Homecare provides personal care to adults living in their own homes who may live with dementia or a physical disability. There were two people receiving personal care at the time of our inspection.
Not everyone who uses the service may 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.
