The report

We have not explained this report yet

The CQC has not yet published an inspection report for The Dispensary. That is usual for a newly registered service.

The story over the years

Every inspection of The Dispensary

Each visit the CQC has published, newest first, back to the day the service was registered.

  1. April 2023

    Registered with the Care Quality Commission on 26 April 2023.

Ratings and report dates from the Care Quality Commission. A service can also be visited without a new rating being published, so the timeline shows published inspections, not every contact the CQC has had with the service.

Another option

Or stay at home with a private carer

Many people who look at care homes end up staying at home with a carer who comes in for a few hours a day, or lives in. PrimeCarers introduces you to self-employed carers you choose yourself: interviewed, ID and DBS checked, from about £20 an hour or £1,120 a week live-in.
