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. ?
SENSE - 115 Gough Road is an independent 5-bed residential care home in Birmingham, registered with CQC under its own name. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Birmingham has 16 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Its CQC rating, from January 2020, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in July 2017, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Birmingham, 60% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
139 other homes in Birmingham share its tier, “Good”. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 33 of Sense’s 36 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
