Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 30 good, 3 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. ?
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. ?
Care UK Community Partnerships Ltd runs Ambleside, a residential care home in Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire with room for 60 residents. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability. Most homes in Warwickshire are smaller: the median there is 33 beds.
Its CQC rating, from August 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in August 2022. The typical rating in Warwickshire is about 3 years old, so this one is fairly recent. CQC found some shortfalls in “how staff, teams and services work together”, one of 3 standards out of 33 scored below good.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in August 2026. That is true of 95% of homes in Warwickshire. Across Warwickshire, 80% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. It is one of 106 homes run by Care UK Community Partnerships Ltd. 97 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
