CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
29 Briants Avenue is a 3-bed residential care home in Reading, run by Voyage 1 Limited. CQC registers it to look after younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Reading has 12 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Its CQC rating, from July 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its rating before that, in August 2016, was the same. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 66% of ratings in Reading are as old (how rating age varies by council).
St Lukes and The Oaks Care Home, 1.5 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. Voyage 1 Limited runs 241 care homes, and 217 of the 238 rated are Good or Outstanding. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from October 2025. That is true of 77% of homes in Reading. In Reading, 76% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
