Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 28 good, 5 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
G Gibbs runs The Paddocks, a residential care home in Diss, Suffolk with room for 6 residents. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Suffolk, where the median is 36 beds.
Its CQC rating, from June 2025, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from February 2019. The typical rating in Suffolk is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. 5 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “workforce wellbeing and enablement”.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 91 other homes in Suffolk share its tier, “Good”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from July 2016. That is true of 92% of homes in Suffolk.
