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. ?
Run by Heathcotes Care Limited, Blythe Bridge is a residential care home in Stoke On Trent, Staffordshire with 8 registered beds. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. That is smaller than most homes in Staffordshire, where the typical home has 28 beds.
In October 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in November 2018, it was rated Requires improvement. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Staffordshire, 51% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
It is one of 53 homes run by Heathcotes Care Limited. 45 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 133 other homes in Staffordshire share its tier, “Good”.
