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. ?
Kingfishers is one of 456 care homes in Hampshire: a 62-bed nursing home in New Milton, run by Colten Care (2009) Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people and younger adults. Most homes in Hampshire are smaller: the median there is 25 beds.
