How long it has been running
Moorlands Rest Home has been registered with CQC since January 2011, about 15 years.
CQC has published 4 overall ratings for it (2016–2023), starting at Good and staying Good every time.
At 3 years old, the rating may not reflect the current team. CQC prioritises higher-risk services, so ask about recent changes rather than assuming the worst.
There are 6 CQC reports on file for this address; the newest is from 1 March 2023.
What it may cost
We estimate Moorlands Rest Home at £1,460–£1,780 a week for residential care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £76k–£93k.
Ask whether the fee changes if needs increase, and what is extra: hairdressing, chiropody, outings and newspapers are often charged separately.
If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), Reading Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.
