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. ?
The home changed owner in July 2026. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Parkcare Homes (No.2) Limited runs Yew Tree Lodge, a residential care home in Reading with room for 16 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, younger adults and people with mental health needs.
The current CQC rating is Requires improvement, published in October 2020. Safe and well-led were also Requires improvement. Effective, caring and responsive were rated Good. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its rating before that, in April 2019, was the same. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 66% of homes in Reading. Here is how rating age varies by council.
