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. ?
Orchard Close Care Home is a 10-bed residential care home in Hayling Island, Hampshire, run by Hampshire County Council. Its CQC registration covers people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Hampshire, where the typical home has 25 beds.
It is one of 19 homes run by Hampshire County Council. 19 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from March 2025. 84% of homes in Hampshire also score 5. In Hampshire, 85% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
In April 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in January 2017. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 46% of ratings in Hampshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
