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. ?
An independent residential care home in Buntingford, Hertfordshire, Windmill Lodge Ltd is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 6 beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Hertfordshire has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Its CQC rating, from August 2023, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in November 2017. Ratings in Hertfordshire are typically about 5 years old, which makes this one newer than most.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Across Hertfordshire, 76% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
