Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 21 good, 4 exceptional, 8 below good. 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. ?
Orchard View is one of 104 care homes in West Northamptonshire: a 5-bed residential care home in Northampton, run by Accomplish Group Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in West Northamptonshire has 22 beds, so this one is on the small side.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in July 2026. Before that, in August 2019, it was rated Outstanding. That is more recent than most ratings in West Northamptonshire, where the typical rating is about 3 years old. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 8 fell below good. The lowest was “kindness, compassion and dignity” (some shortfalls).
