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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
School House is one of 62 care homes in Walsall: a 3-bed residential care home in Walsall, run by Dignus Healthcare Limited. CQC registers it to look after younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Walsall has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in January 2024. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in December 2018.
