Gloucestershire Community Support Services

Gloucestershire Community Support Services is a home care agency based in Gloucester, in the Gloucestershire 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 Gloucester office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. It is part of Precious Homes, which has 7 branches in England. The agency has been registered since March 2021.

Gloucestershire Community Support 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.
