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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Clarence Road is one of 13 care homes in Hackney: a 15-bed residential care home in London, run by Look Ahead Care and Support Limited. Its CQC registration covers people with mental health needs. That is larger than most homes in Hackney, where the typical home has 10 beds.
The current CQC rating is Requires improvement, published in July 2023. It was Requires improvement for safe, effective and well-led as well. For caring and responsive, the rating was Good. Its previous rating, in January 2020, was Good, so the home has slipped. That is more recent than most ratings in Hackney, where the typical rating is about 7 years old.
3 of Look Ahead Care and Support Limited’s 4 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). The nearest home with a higher rating is Acorn Lodge Care Centre (Good), 0.2 km away. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in October 2026. That is true of 80% of homes in Hackney. In Hackney, 85% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment.
