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. ?
Epilepsy Society runs Micholl's House, a residential care home in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire with room for 20 residents. CQC registers it to look after people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in November 2017. Its previous rating, in November 2016, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 54% of ratings in Buckinghamshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).

The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 4 (good), from April 2026. 90% of homes in Buckinghamshire score the top mark of 5.
