Orchid Care

Orchid Care is a home care agency based in Enfield, 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 Enfield 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, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Kare Plus, which has 13 branches in England. The agency has been registered since March 2014.

At its latest inspection, published February 2020, the CQC rated Orchid 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.
