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. ?
Kent County Council runs Rusthall Respite, a residential care home in Tunbridge Wells, Kent with room for 5 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with a sensory impairment and children. The typical home in Kent has 24 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 9 of Kent County Council’s 9 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). In Kent, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from December 2021. 90% of homes in Kent also score 5.
Its CQC rating, from July 2022, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from August 2019.
