The Gatehouse

The Gatehouse is a home care agency based in High Wycombe, in the Buckinghamshire 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 High Wycombe 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 part of Wandle Healthcare Services, which has 2 branches in England. The agency has been registered since October 2024.

The Gatehouse 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.

The Gatehouse has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Buckinghamshire.
