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 Martin Jay & Joanna Jay & Thom Wight, The Ashurst is a residential care home in Lowestoft, Suffolk with 19 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Suffolk has 36 beds, so this one is on the small side.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in April 2019. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in 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.
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from September 2026. That is true of 92% of homes in Suffolk. In Suffolk, 81% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 1 of Martin Jay & Joanna Jay & Thom Wight’s 2 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
