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 St Albans, Hertfordshire, HSN Care (Bricket Wood) is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 12 beds. Its CQC registration covers younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Hertfordshire has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Its CQC rating, from August 2021, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in May 2019, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 53% of homes in Hertfordshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
Tenterden House Care Home, 1.6 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. In Hertfordshire, 76% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
