Above & Beyond Care Home care in Ipswich, Suffolk
Care Quality Commission

Rated Outstanding for Caring

An Outstanding rating is the highest rating the CQC can award. We have now retained our Outstanding rating for Caring across three consecutive inspections. This recognition means the most to us because it reflects what matters most: treating people with kindness, dignity and respect in their own homes.

Overall rating Good
Caring Outstanding

Assessed 24th to 29th June 2026. Report published 27th July 2026.

“Without exception, people and relatives told us about how caring the staff and registered manager were.”

The inspector’s finding, June 2026

What people told the inspectors

Only a small proportion of home care services in England hold an Outstanding rating in any category. These are the words of the people we support, and their relatives, spoken to the inspectors during our assessment.

“Staff can't do enough for you, they are wonderful. All polite and respectful. Staff will always ask what I want, never take it for granted.”

A person using the service, speaking to the inspector

“I am so confident with them, it is well led, staff come when expected and care about my family member.”

A relative, speaking to the inspector

“The service have not forgotten what they are there for; to care. I know what the name Above Beyond Care means; perhaps that is true.”

What the CQC looks at

The CQC asks five questions of every service it inspects, and rates each one outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate. Here is how we were rated on each.

Safe Rated Good Are people protected from abuse and avoidable harm?
Effective Rated Good Does the care, treatment and support achieve good outcomes and help people maintain quality of life?
Caring Rated Outstanding Do staff involve and treat people with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect?
Responsive Rated Good Are services organised so that they meet people's needs?
Well led Rated Good Does the leadership, management and governance assure high quality, person centred care?

The full assessment report, published on 27th July 2026, sets out the evidence behind each rating. Read it on the CQC website, where you can also give feedback about our service directly to the regulator.
