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. ?
Cygnet Care Services Limited runs Squirrels, a residential care home in Southampton, Hampshire with room for 9 residents. CQC registers it to look after younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Hampshire, where the typical home has 25 beds.

Its CQC rating, from February 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 46% of ratings in Hampshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
