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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Run by Consensus Support Services Limited, Vale House is a residential care home in Bolton with 8 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Bolton has 28 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Consensus Support Services Limited runs 56 care homes, and 52 of the 55 rated are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. In Bolton, 84% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in June 2018. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in June 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 39% of ratings in Bolton are as old (how rating age varies by council).
