Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 29 good, 2 exceptional, 2 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Albany House - Stratford-upon-Avon is in the Good tier ?, with 89 other homes in Warwickshire.
80% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).
Rethink Mental Illness runs Albany House - Stratford-upon-Avon, a residential care home in Stratford Upon Avon, Warwickshire with room for 8 residents. It is registered to care for people with mental health needs. The typical home in Warwickshire has 33 beds, so this one is on the small side.
7 of Rethink Mental Illness’s 13 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Across Warwickshire, 80% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
In September 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in April 2019, was the same.
