Elegant Care Services

Elegant Care Services is a home care agency based in Windsor, in the Windsor and Maidenhead council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Windsor office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us.

The agency has been registered since August 2014.

At its latest inspection, published February 2024, the CQC rated Elegant Care Services Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve.
