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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Mrs J Whitney runs Summon Bonum, a residential care home in Torquay, Torbay with room for 9 residents. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is a small home for Torbay, where the median is 26 beds.
In April 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from January 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 27% of ratings in Torbay are as old (how rating age varies by council).
CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. 45 other homes in Torbay share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in July 2017. That is true of 83% of homes in Torbay. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
