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. ?
Ava House is a 5-bed residential care home in Maryport, Cumberland, run by Living For Life (Cumbria) Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Cumberland has 25 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in February 2020. 90% of homes in Cumberland also score 5. In Cumberland, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in December 2022. That matches its previous rating, from November 2017.
