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 Epilepsy Society, Croft Cottage is a residential care home in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire with 7 registered beds. It is registered to care for younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Buckinghamshire, where the typical home has 30 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in November 2019. Its rating before that, in March 2017, was the same. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 54% of ratings in Buckinghamshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from May 2026. That is true of 90% of homes in Buckinghamshire. Across Buckinghamshire, 73% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 5 of Epilepsy Society’s 6 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
