How the inspectors rated it

Good

The Care Quality Commission rated 1a West Avenue Good when it last published an assessment, in January 2019.

Among the least current in EnglandThe national middle is 4.3 years. How we measure this.

That was 7.6 years ago. Managers move on, owners sell up, staff turn over. A rating this old describes the home as it was in 2019 — not as it is this month. Three questions worth asking on the phone: who is the manager now, how long have they been in post, and how many of the care staff have been there more than a year?

Ask about fees

Would the council pay towards this?

Whether you pay all of it, some of it or none of it turns on savings, income and whether a property would be left empty. Our calculator applies the 2026/27 means test and tells you the weekly figure. See also how council funding works and what happens when the money runs out.
