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. ?
The Goodwins is one of 485 care homes in Kent: a 8-bed residential care home in Deal, run by Caretech Community Services (No.2) Limited. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Kent has 24 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In Kent, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). It is the only Outstanding home among the 7 closest. Caretech Community Services (No.2) Limited runs 24 care homes, and 22 of the 24 rated are Good or Outstanding.
CQC last rated the home in February 2019, giving it Outstanding overall. It was Outstanding for caring, responsive and well-led as well. Safe and effective were rated Good. Its previous rating, in April 2016, was Good, so the home has improved. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Kent, 45% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
