Woburn Care

Woburn Care is a home care agency based in Dunstable, in the Central Bedfordshire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Dunstable 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 and people with a physical disability. It is run by Woburn Care Company. The agency has been registered since June 2013.

At its latest inspection, published May 2023, the CQC rated Woburn Care 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.
