About this home
Rowan Close is a CQC-registered residential care home in Southampton, run by FitzRoy Support. Its CQC registration covers adults of all ages, including people living with learning disabilities.
At its most recent rating, CQC judged it Good overall (January 2020). It is one of 19 CQC-registered care homes in and around Netley; 15 of those are rated Good or Outstanding.
How long it has been running
Rowan Close registered with CQC in July 2026, so it is a new service.
CQC has published 4 overall ratings for it (2015–2020), starting at Good; it has gone up 2 and down 1 time, and is now Good.
It has gone 6 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.
