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. ?
Wellcroft House is one of 95 care homes in Sandwell: a 6-bed residential care home in Wednesbury, run by Progress Adult Living Services Ltd. CQC registers it to look after 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 Sandwell, where the typical home has 12 beds.
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from June 2017. 95% of homes in Sandwell also score 5. Across Sandwell, 73% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
