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. ?
Fern House is a 6-bed residential care home in Birmingham, run by Young People Services Birmingham Ltd. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Birmingham, where the median is 16 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in March 2019. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in May 2016. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Birmingham, 60% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2024. That is true of 86% of homes in Birmingham. 139 other homes in Birmingham share its tier, “Good”. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
