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 Birmingham, Queen Alexandra College is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 30 beds. CQC registers it to look after younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs, people with a sensory impairment and children. The typical home in Birmingham has 16 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
In May 2019, 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 June 2016. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Birmingham, 60% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Across Birmingham, 77% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
