The registered provider
Stafford House Residential Care Home is the only service its provider, Mrs Jill Margueretta Meller, runs, so it is an independent, single-site operator rather than part of a chain.
How long it has been running
CQC registration dates from November 2013, so the service has been operating for around 12 years under its current registration.
CQC has published 3 overall ratings for it (2016–2018), starting at Good and staying Good every time.
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.
Reports on record: 4, with the most recent dated 6 November 2018.
