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. ?
Kingston House is in the Good, with Outstanding areas tier ?, with 14 other homes in Kent.
79% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).
Kingston House is one of 485 care homes in Kent: a 9-bed residential care home in Canterbury, run by Caretech Community Services (No.2) Limited. Its CQC registration covers people with dementia, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Kent has 24 beds, so this one is on the small side.
CQC last rated the home in February 2020, giving it Good overall. It was Good for safe, effective, responsive and well-led as well. CQC rated caring as Outstanding. Its rating before that, in June 2017, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Kent, 45% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
