Island Business Centre

Island Business Centre is a home care agency based in London, in the Greenwich 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, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Lucien and Marcel Home Care. The agency has been registered since July 2018.

At its latest inspection, published March 2024, the CQC rated Island Business Centre 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.
