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. ?
Run by Shanti Healthcare Limited, Kestrel House is a residential care home in London, Waltham Forest with 19 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers younger adults and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Waltham Forest has 9 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Across Waltham Forest, 93% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in January 2025. 94% of homes in Waltham Forest also score 5.
In January 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That is up from Requires improvement in November 2017. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 35% of homes in Waltham Forest. Here is how rating age varies by council.
