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. ?
Royal Mencap Society runs Dolphin Court, a residential care home in Havant, Hampshire with room for 15 residents. Its CQC registration covers people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Hampshire has 25 beds, so this one is on the small side.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in March 2018. Its rating before that, in January 2016, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Hampshire, 46% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
Royal Mencap Society runs 26 care homes, and 25 of the 26 rated are Good or Outstanding. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. In Hampshire, 85% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in August 2026. That is true of 84% of homes in Hampshire.
