Allium Homecare

Allium Homecare is a home care agency based in Ashford, in the Surrey 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 Ashford 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. It is run by VANP. The agency has been registered since February 2018.

At its latest inspection, published April 2019, the CQC rated Allium Homecare 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.
