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. ?
Run by Tailored Transitions Ltd, Fernside is a residential care home in Ferndown, Dorset with 4 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Dorset, where the typical home has 31 beds.
Amberwood House, 1.2 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. It is one of 3 homes run by Tailored Transitions Ltd. 3 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. 80 other homes in Dorset share its tier, “Good”.
In November 2023, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from April 2018.
