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. ?
Hamelin Trust runs The Bungalow, a residential care home in Wickford, Essex with room for 5 residents. CQC registers it to look after younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. That is smaller than most homes in Essex, where the typical home has 22 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in March 2019. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in September 2016. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Essex, 48% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
237 other homes in Essex share its tier, “Good”. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. It is one of 2 homes run by Hamelin Trust. 2 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
