ECL Havering

ECL Havering is a home care agency based in Brentwood, 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 Brentwood 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 and people with a physical disability. It is run by ECL Trading. The agency has been registered since June 2024.

At its latest inspection, published December 2021, the CQC rated ECL Havering 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.

ECL Havering has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Essex with a rate on record typically charge about £27 an hour and £1,675 a week for live-in care, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.
