Welcome Independent Living Ltd is a domiciliary care service providing personal care to people in their own houses and flats in the community. At the time of inspection, the service was providing personal care to 105 people. Not everyone who used the service received personal care. Care Quality Commission (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.
