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. ?
Ashwood - Ware is one of 246 care homes in Hertfordshire: a 64-bed residential care home in Ware, run by Runwood Homes Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Hertfordshire has 30 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
In August 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in August 2017, it was rated Requires improvement. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Hertfordshire, 53% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
Across Hertfordshire, 76% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. It is one of 55 homes run by Runwood Homes Limited. 46 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Belmont View, 3.7 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding.
