Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 31 good, 2 exceptional. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Insight Specialist Behavioural Service Ltd runs Insight Teynham, a residential care home in Sittingbourne, Kent with room for 13 residents. It is registered to care for younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Kent, where the typical home has 24 beds.
Across Kent, 79% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in April 2025. 90% of homes in Kent also score 5. It is one of 8 homes run by Insight Specialist Behavioural Service Ltd. 7 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in August 2026. Its rating before that, in December 2017, was the same. That is more recent than most ratings in Kent, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. None of its 33 scored standards was below good, and 2 were exceptional.
