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. ?
Action for Care Limited runs The Orchard, a residential care home in Selby, North Yorkshire with room for 6 residents. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in North Yorkshire, where the typical home has 29 beds.
In January 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in June 2017. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 49% of homes in North Yorkshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
125 other homes in North Yorkshire share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in July 2025. That is true of 94% of homes in North Yorkshire. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 8 of Action for Care Limited’s 9 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
