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. ?
An independent residential care home in Welwyn, Hertfordshire, Homeside is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 8 beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is a small home for Hertfordshire, where the median is 30 beds.
In February 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in August 2017. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 53% of ratings in Hertfordshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Across Hertfordshire, 76% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in April 2024. That is true of 92% of homes in Hertfordshire.
