Waltham Forest

Waltham Forest is a home care agency based in London, in the Waltham Forest 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.

The agency has been registered since February 2025.

At its latest inspection, published August 2019, the CQC rated Waltham Forest 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.
