Essex Mid

Essex Mid is a home care agency based in Chelmsford, in the Essex 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 Chelmsford 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 mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Bloomsbury Home Care, which has 6 branches in England. The agency has been registered since September 2024.

At its latest inspection, published April 2025, the CQC rated Essex Mid 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.
