Above and Beyond Home Care

Above and Beyond Home Care is a home care agency based in Hemel Hempstead, in the Hertfordshire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Hemel Hempstead office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs. It is run by Platinum Homecare 4U. The agency has been registered since February 2022.

At its latest inspection, published August 2023, the CQC rated Above and Beyond Home Care Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
