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. ?
Canterbury Oast Trust runs Old School House, a residential care home in New Romney, Kent with room for 8 residents. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Kent has 24 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In Kent, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from January 2024. 90% of homes in Kent also score 5. Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Canterbury Oast Trust runs 8 care homes, and 7 of the 8 rated are Good or Outstanding.
Its CQC rating, from June 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in March 2017, was the same. 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.
