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. ?
Consensus Support Services Limited runs Grammar School House, a residential care home in Colchester, Essex with room for 12 residents. Its CQC registration covers younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Essex, where the typical home has 22 beds.
