Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust Adult Community Services

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust Adult Community Services is a home care agency based in London, in the Southwark council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes.

It is run by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. The agency has been registered since January 2017.

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust Adult Community 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.
