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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Mills Meadow is a 60-bed residential care home in Woodbridge, Suffolk, run by Care UK Community Partnerships Ltd. CQC registers it to look after older people and people with dementia. The typical home in Suffolk has 36 beds, so this one is bigger than average.

Before that, in October 2016, it was rated Good. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 32% of ratings in Suffolk are as old (how rating age varies by council).
