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. ?
Ridgecott is one of 86 care homes in Plymouth: a 10-bed residential care home in Plymouth, run by Peninsula Autism Services & Support Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Plymouth has 24 beds, so this one is on the small side.
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from October 2025. 87% of homes in Plymouth also score 5. In Plymouth, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Peninsula Autism Services & Support Limited runs 4 care homes, and all 4 rated are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In April 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in August 2017, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Plymouth, 39% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
