JKL care services has been an established registered domiciliary care service since 2019 with the purpose of combating social isolation and social exclusion within our communities.

Together our team now works across both North and South Lanarkshire enabling the most vulnerable adults within our communities to live their lives to their fullest potential with both our assistance and love.
