Ashridge Home Care

Ashridge Home Care is a home care agency based in Amersham, in the Buckinghamshire 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 Amersham office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us.

The agency has been registered since February 2017.

At its latest inspection, published July 2019, the CQC rated Ashridge Home Care 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.
