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. ?
An independent residential care home in Margate, Kent, SENSE - 89 Hastings Avenue is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 4 beds. Its CQC registration covers people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Kent has 24 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In April 2019, CQC gave it Outstanding overall, and Outstanding for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in July 2016, it was rated Good. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Kent, 45% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
None of the 6 nearest homes is rated Outstanding. It is one of 36 homes run by Sense. 33 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Across Kent, 79% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
