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. ?
Run by Leading Lives Limited, Short Break Respite Unit is a residential care home in Stowmarket, Suffolk with 5 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and children. That is smaller than most homes in Suffolk, where the typical home has 36 beds.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Leading Lives Limited runs 3 care homes, and all 3 rated are Good or Outstanding. Across Suffolk, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
Its CQC rating, from December 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from May 2016. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 32% of homes in Suffolk. Here is how rating age varies by council.
