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. ?
Fairways is one of 182 care homes in Suffolk: a 8-bed residential care home in Ipswich, run by Cygnet Learning Disabilities Midlands Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Suffolk, where the typical home has 36 beds.
In Suffolk, 81% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in March 2026. 92% of homes in Suffolk also score 5. It is one of 17 homes run by Cygnet Learning Disabilities Midlands Limited. 14 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In October 2017, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 32% of homes in Suffolk. Here is how rating age varies by council.
