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. ?
Ponderosa is one of 79 care homes in Doncaster: a 5-bed residential care home in Doncaster, run by Cambian Signpost Limited. Its CQC registration covers younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism, people with a sensory impairment and children. It is a small home for Doncaster, where the median is 29 beds.
In July 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from May 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 13% of ratings in Doncaster are as old (how rating age varies by council).
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 4 of Cambian Signpost Limited’s 4 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Across Doncaster, 79% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
