About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 16 April 2020. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
E&K Care Limited is a domiciliary care service providing personal care to four people aged 65 and over at the time of the inspection. An additional person was using the service but was not receiving 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.
