About the service Webb Ellis Court (Office) is an extra care housing facility, which has 63 one and two bedroomed apartments in one large building. The company commissioned to provide domiciliary care calls to people within Webb Ellis Court (Office) is Home Group Limited.
Not everyone who used the service received personal care. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) only inspects where people receive personal care. This means tasks related to personal hygiene such as washing and dressing. Where they do, we also consider any wider social care provided. At the time of the inspection, 12 people were using the service, of which five people were receiving personal care calls.
