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. ?
Autism Together runs The Willows, a residential care home in Wirral with room for 8 residents. It is registered to care for younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Wirral has 28 beds, so this one is on the small side.
