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. ?
Hilltop House is an independent 8-bed residential care home in Reading, Wokingham, registered with CQC under its own name. CQC registers it to look after older people, younger adults and people with mental health needs. That is smaller than most homes in Wokingham, where the typical home has 16 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in February 2020. That matches its previous rating, from June 2017. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Wokingham, 74% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
About 3.3 km away, Sonning Gardens Care Home is rated Outstanding. 26 other homes in Wokingham share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in April 2023. That is true of 80% of homes in Wokingham.
