History with CQC

CQC registration dates from January 2020, so the service has been operating for around 6 years under its current registration.

CQC has published 3 overall ratings for it (2016–2023), starting at Good and staying Good every time.

It has gone 3 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.

Budgeting for this home

We estimate Highbury Court Flats at £1,080–£1,330 a week for residential care, based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £56k–£69k.

Ask how often fees rise and whether they go up if care needs increase.

People with savings under £23,250 may get help from Bury Council after a needs and financial assessment.

The company behind Highbury Court Flats

Outreach Community and Residential Services runs 3 CQC-registered services; 1 of the 3 with a rating are Good or Outstanding (33%), against 85% for the same mix of services across England.

All 3 are in Bury, so it is a local operator rather than a national chain.

How it fits locally

It is registered for needs that fewer services nearby cover: learning disabilities (5 of the nearest 25).
