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. ?
Community Homes of Intensive Care and Education Limited runs Carisbrooke, a residential care home in Reading with room for 6 residents. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Reading, where the median is 12 beds.
Its CQC rating, from December 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in May 2016, was the same. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 66% of homes in Reading. Here is how rating age varies by council.
It is one of 65 homes run by Community Homes of Intensive Care and Education Limited. 60 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. St Lukes and The Oaks Care Home, 1.1 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. 18 other homes in Reading share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in June 2025. That is true of 77% of homes in Reading.
