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 Barnet, SENSE - Hyde Close Flats is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 17 beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. That is smaller than most homes in Barnet, where the typical home has 30 beds.
47 other homes in Barnet share its tier, “Good”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 4 (good), from July 2026. In Barnet, 79% of homes score 5. 33 of Sense’s 36 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in December 2020. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in September 2017. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Barnet, 35% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
