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 United Response, Gombards is a residential care home in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire with 8 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Hertfordshire, where the typical home has 30 beds.
In March 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from August 2017. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 53% of homes in Hertfordshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
121 other homes in Hertfordshire share its tier, “Good”. 17 of United Response’s 18 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
