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. ?
Sefton Street is one of 111 care homes in Sefton: a 3-bed residential care home in Southport, run by Autism Initiatives (UK). Its CQC registration covers 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 Sefton has 27 beds, so this one is on the small side.
63 other homes in Sefton share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in April 2026. 94% of homes in Sefton also score 5. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. It is one of 10 homes run by Autism Initiatives (UK). 10 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
In August 2018, 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 February 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 53% of ratings in Sefton are as old (how rating age varies by council).
