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. ?
Clann House is a 34-bed residential care home in Bodmin, Cornwall, run by Mr & Mrs L Difford. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, people with mental health needs and people detained under the Mental Health Act. Most homes in Cornwall are smaller: the median there is 22 beds.
In March 2023, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its previous rating, in May 2022, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved.
