Ambrosial services

Ambrosial services is a home care agency based in Watford, 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 Watford 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, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since November 2023.

Ambrosial services has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.

Ambrosial services has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Hertfordshire. Across England agencies usually charge £26 to £36 an hour for visits and £1,200 to £1,750 a week for live-in care.
