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. ?
Farm House is one of 485 care homes in Kent: a 5-bed residential care home in Ashford, run by Canterbury Oast Trust. Its CQC registration covers people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Kent, where the median is 24 beds.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 7 of Canterbury Oast Trust’s 8 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). In Kent, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
Its CQC rating, from August 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from March 2017. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 45% of homes in Kent. Here is how rating age varies by council.
