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. ?
Consensus Support Services Limited runs Smythe House, a residential care home in Kettering, North Northamptonshire with room for 7 residents. It is registered to care for younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. That is smaller than most homes in North Northamptonshire, where the typical home has 24 beds.
In May 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. The rating is more than 5 years old. In North Northamptonshire, 32% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
About 0.2 km away, Heatherington House is rated Outstanding. 52 of Consensus Support Services Limited’s 55 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). 62 other homes in North Northamptonshire share its tier, “Good”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from April 2025. That is true of 99% of homes in North Northamptonshire.
