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.
