Accedo Herts South

Accedo Herts South is a home care agency based in Waltham Cross, 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 Waltham Cross office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is run by Accedo Care. The agency has been registered since April 2017.

At its latest inspection, published December 2020, the CQC rated Accedo Herts South Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
