Fortune Life Home Care

Fortune Life Home Care is a home care agency based in Watford, in the Hertfordshire 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 Watford 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, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. Its website lists hourly visits. It is run by Mrs Eldalyn Rivera Sundram. The agency has been registered since July 2015.

At its latest inspection, published July 2018, the CQC rated Fortune Life Home Care 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.

Fortune Life Home Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Hertfordshire with a rate on record typically charge about £28.25 an hour and £1,475 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.

There are 318 registered home care agencies in Hertfordshire. Others working the same area include Drama Room, GoodOaks Homecare – Watford and Walfinch Watford and Hemel Hempstead, 5 of which have a rate on record. A self-employed carer found through PrimeCarers charges £18 to £25 an hour, and live-in care typically about £1,120 a week across England.
