Visiting Angels

Visiting Angels is a home care agency based in Welwyn Garden City, 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 Welwyn Garden City office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people and people living with dementia. It is run by Dynamo One. The agency has been registered since May 2022.

At its latest inspection, published December 2021, the CQC rated Visiting Angels 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.

Visiting Angels 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 Jubilee Domiciliary Care Agency, The Inclusion Project and Next Steps Hertfordshire, 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.
