Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 30 good, 3 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. ?
An independent residential care home in Rotherham, Orchid House is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 4 beds. Its CQC registration covers younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Rotherham has 23 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In December 2025, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in November 2019, it was rated Requires improvement. The typical rating in Rotherham is about 2 years old, so this one is fairly recent. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 3 fell below good. The lowest was “person-centred care” (some shortfalls).
