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. ?
Run by Achieve Together Limited, Rhyme House is a residential care home in Sittingbourne, Kent with 10 registered beds. It is registered to care for 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 Kent has 24 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In July 2022, 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 November 2017.
It is one of 139 homes run by Achieve Together Limited. 115 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
