Urban Group of Care

Urban Group of Care is a home care agency based in Waltham Abbey, in the Essex 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 Waltham Abbey 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 and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since May 2025.

Urban Group of Care 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.
