Amber Home Carers

Amber Home Carers is a home care agency based in London, in the Richmond upon Thames 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 London 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, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. The agency has been registered since November 2017.
