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. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Saturn Healthcare Ltd runs Badgers Wood, a residential care home in Norwich, Norfolk with room for 37 residents. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs.
CQC's latest rating, from April 2019, is Outstanding overall. Caring, responsive and well-led were also Outstanding. Safe and effective were rated Good. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its previous rating, in July 2016, was Good, so the home has improved. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 46% of homes in Norfolk. Here is how rating age varies by council.
