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. ?
IOTA Care is an independent 3-bed residential care home in Plymouth, registered with CQC under its own name. CQC registers it to look after younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Plymouth has 24 beds, so this one is on the small side.
