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. ?
Downers Court is a 3-bed residential care home in Rochester, Medway, run by CLBD Limited. CQC registers it to look after younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Medway has 19 beds, so this one is on the small side.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in July 2018. Its rating before that, in April 2016, was the same. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 42% of homes in Medway. Here is how rating age varies by council.
CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. CLBD Limited runs 11 care homes, and all 8 rated are Good or Outstanding. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. In Medway, 72% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
