Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 29 good, 4 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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 Moundsley Hall Limited, Buckingham House is a nursing home in Birmingham, Worcestershire with 60 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with mental health needs. That is larger than most homes in Worcestershire, where the typical home has 35 beds.
3 of Moundsley Hall Limited’s 3 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 109 other homes in Worcestershire share its tier, “Good”.
In June 2024, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its previous rating, in December 2023, was Inadequate, so the home has improved. 4 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “care provision, integration and continuity”.
