Whetstone Office

Whetstone Office is a home care agency based in London, in the Barnet 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 London office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. It is run by Nationwide Care (Finchley). The agency has been registered since July 2020.

At its latest inspection, published March 2023, the CQC rated Whetstone Office 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.
