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 Orchard is a 6-bed residential care home in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, run by Condover College Limited. It is registered to care for older people, 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 Shropshire, where the typical home has 29 beds.
Across Shropshire, 80% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. It is one of 14 homes run by Condover College Limited. 12 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In October 2019, 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 March 2017. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 53% of ratings in Shropshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
