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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?

Run by Abilities Development Ltd, Abilities Short Breaks - Preston Road is a residential care home in Harrow, Brent with 3 registered beds.
