Welmede Housing Association

Welmede Housing Association is a home care agency based in Chertsey, in the Surrey 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 Chertsey 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 a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of The Avenues Trust, which has 8 branches in England. The agency has been registered since March 2022.

At its latest inspection, published August 2023, the CQC rated Welmede Housing Association Outstanding, which means the CQC found the service performing exceptionally well. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
