Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 26 good, 7 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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 Runwood Homes Limited, Four Acres is a residential care home in Studley, Warwickshire with 66 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. That is larger than most homes in Warwickshire, where the typical home has 33 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in September 2026. That matches its previous rating, from June 2022. The typical rating in Warwickshire is about 3 years old, so this one is fairly recent. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 7 fell below good. The lowest was “consent to care and treatment” (some shortfalls).
In Warwickshire, 80% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from March 2025. That is true of 95% of homes in Warwickshire.
