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. ?
Ash House is a 6-bed residential care home in Birmingham, run by Aston Transitional Care Limited. Its CQC registration covers people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs, people with a sensory impairment and people with an eating disorder. That is smaller than most homes in Birmingham, where the typical home has 16 beds.
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from June 2020. 86% of homes in Birmingham also score 5. In Birmingham, 77% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). 6 of Aston Transitional Care Limited’s 6 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In November 2022, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in March 2020, it was rated Requires improvement.
