York Road

Likely fees

We estimate York Road at £1,450–£1,780 a week for residential care, based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £75k–£93k.

Ask whether the fee changes if needs increase, and what is extra: hairdressing, chiropody, outings and newspapers are often charged separately.

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

York Road over the years

CQC registration dates from December 2010, so the service has been operating for around 15 years under its current registration.

CQC has published 4 overall ratings for it (2015–2023), starting at Good; it has gone up 1 and down 1 time, and is now Good.

The rating is 3 years old. CQC decides when to return based on risk, so age alone is not a warning sign; still, ask who the manager is now.

6 reports have been published for this location, most recently on 1 June 2023.

What the ratings tell you

CQC rated every one of the five key questions Good here, so there is no weak spot in the published ratings.

For leadership (Well-led), it shares its Good rating with 49 of the 64 other care homes in Sutton that CQC has rated.
