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. ?
Aspley House is one of 485 care homes in Kent: a 4-bed residential care home in Sittingbourne, run by Insight Specialist Behavioural Service Ltd. Its CQC registration covers younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Kent, where the typical home has 24 beds.
The current CQC rating is Outstanding, published in February 2018. It was Outstanding for caring, responsive and well-led as well. CQC rated safe and effective as Good. Its previous rating, in December 2015, was Good, so the home has improved. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Kent, 45% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
Across Kent, 79% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in August 2013. That is true of 90% of homes in Kent. 1 of the 6 nearest homes is also Outstanding. Insight Specialist Behavioural Service Ltd runs 8 care homes, and all 7 rated are Good or Outstanding.
