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 Fremantle Trust runs The Heights, a nursing home in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire with room for 90 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. Most homes in Buckinghamshire are smaller: the median there is 30 beds.
The current CQC rating is Outstanding, published in February 2019. Effective and well-led were also Outstanding. Safe, caring and responsive were rated Good. Its rating before that, in April 2016, was the same. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 54% of homes in Buckinghamshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
The Fremantle Trust runs 15 care homes, and 11 of the 14 rated are Good or Outstanding. 1 of the 6 nearest homes is also Outstanding. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from February 2026. That is true of 90% of homes in Buckinghamshire. In Buckinghamshire, 73% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
