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. ?
Milewood Healthcare Ltd runs Harlington House, a residential care home in York with room for 17 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. That is smaller than most homes in York, where the typical home has 44 beds.
CQC last rated the home in December 2022, giving it Requires improvement overall. Safe and well-led were also Requires improvement. Effective, caring and responsive were rated Good. Its previous rating, in June 2022, was Inadequate, so the home has improved.
