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. ?
Bridge House is one of 485 care homes in Kent: a 5-bed residential care home in Sittingbourne, run by Cartref Homes UK Limited. CQC registers it to look after 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.
Its CQC rating, from May 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in January 2016, was the same. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 45% of homes in Kent. Here is how rating age varies by council.
None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Cartref Homes UK Limited runs 3 care homes, and all 3 rated are Good or Outstanding. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in March 2023. That is true of 90% of homes in Kent. 286 other homes in Kent share its tier, “Good”.
