Active Homecare

Active Homecare is a home care agency based in Dunstable, in the Central Bedfordshire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Dunstable 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 a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since January 2019.

At its latest inspection, published July 2025, the CQC rated Active Homecare Outstanding, which means the CQC found the service performing exceptionally well. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
