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. ?
Peppard House is a 7-bed residential care home in Reading, run by Community Homes of Intensive Care and Education Limited. Its CQC registration covers people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Reading has 12 beds, so this one is on the small side.
