Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 21 good, 12 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Roman House is a 8-bed residential care home in Basingstoke, Hampshire, run by Salutem LD BidCo IV Limited. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with a sensory impairment and children.

Before that, in October 2021, it was rated Good. The typical rating in Hampshire is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 12 fell below good.
