Global Wave Ltd

Global Wave Ltd 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, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Global Wave. The agency has been registered since April 2023.

Global Wave Ltd has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.

Global Wave Ltd 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 Bridgewater Home care Watford, 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.
