About the service Mawii Home Care Limited is a care agency providing personal care and support to people living in their own homes. At the time of our inspection one person was using the service. Not everyone who used the service received personal care. In this service, the Care Quality Commission can only inspect the service received by people who get support with personal care. This includes help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where people receive such support, we also consider any wider social care provided.
