CQC key question ratings, published 30 July 2019. Under each rating: how many care homes in Cambridgeshire share it.
How long it has been running
1 High Street has been registered with CQC since April 2025, about 1 year.
CQC has published 3 overall ratings for it (2015–2019), starting at Good; it has gone up 1 and down 1 time, and is now Good.
It has gone 7 years without a new overall rating. CQC schedules inspections by risk, so this is not a bad sign in itself, though leadership may have moved on.
Note that a different provider ran the service when it was rated; the current one has not been inspected here so far.
