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. ?
Swanton Care & Community Limited runs Darwin Place, a residential care home in Much Wenlock, Shropshire with room for 7 residents. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is a small home for Shropshire, where the median is 29 beds.
It is one of 8 homes run by Swanton Care & Community Limited. 6 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Across Shropshire, 80% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
In April 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its previous rating, in April 2018, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 53% of homes in Shropshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
