It is part of Fosse Healthcare, which has 14 branches in England. The agency has been registered since July 2021.

At its latest inspection, published May 2023, the CQC rated Armstrong Gardens 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.

Armstrong Gardens has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Nottinghamshire with a rate on record typically charge about £27 an hour and £1,663 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.
