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. ?
Hightown Housing Association Limited runs 4 Old Barn Close, a residential care home in Buckingham, Buckinghamshire with room for 4 residents. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Buckinghamshire has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In October 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in August 2016. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Buckinghamshire, 54% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
In Buckinghamshire, 73% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). It is one of 9 homes run by Hightown Housing Association Limited. 9 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
