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. ?
Run by Counticare Limited, Cosy Lodge is a residential care home in Ashford, Kent with 7 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Kent, where the typical home has 24 beds.
In September 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in December 2016. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Kent, 45% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
In Kent, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. It is one of 11 homes run by Counticare Limited. 11 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
