Care a la Carte

Care a la Carte is a home care agency based in London, in the Camden 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 and people with a physical disability. It is run by A La Carte Care. The agency has been registered since November 2010.

At its latest inspection, published January 2019, the CQC rated Care a la Carte 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.
