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. ?
Hill Brow is an independent 32-bed residential care home in Farnham, Hampshire, registered with CQC under its own name. CQC registers it to look after older people and people with dementia.
CQC last rated the home in July 2019, giving it Outstanding overall. Effective and responsive were also Outstanding. For safe, caring and well-led, the rating was Good. Its previous rating, in March 2017, was Good, so the home has improved. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 46% of ratings in Hampshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
