Your Trusted Home Care Partner in Barnsley & South Yorkshire Since 2017
Family-founded, professionally delivered care that treats your loved ones as our own
Our Story Begins with Family
When Pearl Kudzanai Chitongo founded Pearl Home Care Ltd in 2017, it wasn't just about starting a business – it was about bringing the compassionate, dignified care she'd want for her own family to every home in South Yorkshire. Having witnessed the challenges families face when caring for vulnerable loved ones, Pearl recognised the need for a service that combined professional excellence with genuine human warmth.
Today, from our base in Cudworth, Barnsley, we're proud to support hundreds of families across Barnsley, Sheffield, Doncaster, and Rotherham. Our CQC Good rating reflects our commitment to quality, but it's the smiles on our clients' faces and the trust of their families that truly measure our success.
