Waltham Forest

Waltham Forest is a home care agency based in Leyton, in the Waltham Forest 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 Leyton office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is part of Verity Healthcare, which has 7 branches in England. The agency has been registered since September 2015.

At its latest inspection, published March 2023, the CQC rated Waltham Forest Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
