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. ?
Avery Homes (Nelson) Limited runs Elvy Court Care Home, a nursing home in Sittingbourne, Kent with room for 55 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Kent has 24 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
In August 2021, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in October 2020. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 45% of ratings in Kent are as old (how rating age varies by council).
Avery Homes (Nelson) Limited runs 17 care homes, and 14 of the 17 rated are Good or Outstanding. Aspley House, 0.0 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. Across Kent, 79% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
