Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 20 good, 13 exceptional. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Autism Initiatives (UK) runs Minshull House, a residential care home in Liverpool with room for 5 residents. Its CQC registration covers people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Liverpool, where the typical home has 36 beds.
CQC's latest rating, from May 2026, is Outstanding overall. Effective and caring were also Outstanding. For safe, responsive and well-led, the rating was Good. Before that, in October 2017, it was rated Good. That is more recent than most ratings in Liverpool, where the typical rating is about 2 years old. CQC scored 33 standards: 13 exceptional and the rest good.
Across Liverpool, 67% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. None of the 6 nearest homes is rated Outstanding. Autism Initiatives (UK) runs 10 care homes, and all 10 rated are Good or Outstanding.
