ACS Healthcare Services

ACS Healthcare Services is a home care agency based in Grays, in the Thurrock council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Grays office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people and younger adults. It is run by ACS Community Projects (ACS ). The agency has been registered since June 2023.

ACS Healthcare Services has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.
