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. ?
Damascus House is a 12-bed residential care home in Leicester, Leicestershire, run by Mr Vincent Kelly. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Leicestershire, where the typical home has 30 beds.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2023. 82% of homes in Leicestershire also score 5. Across Leicestershire, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
Its CQC rating, from November 2023, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in August 2018.
