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. ?
Friern Residential Care Home is a 18-bed residential care home in London, Barnet, run by Mr Munundev Gunputh. Its CQC registration covers younger adults and people with mental health needs. That is smaller than most homes in Barnet, where the typical home has 30 beds.
