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. ?
Kent County Council runs Meadowside, a residential care home in Deal, Kent with room for 10 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with a sensory impairment and children. It is a small home for Kent, where the median is 24 beds.
Its CQC rating, from April 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in March 2018, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 45% of homes in Kent. Here is how rating age varies by council.
9 of Kent County Council’s 9 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in February 2025. That is true of 90% of homes in Kent. 286 other homes in Kent share its tier, “Good”.
