About Amberley House - London
Amberley House is a residential care home in Enfield, London, offering accommodation and personal care for older people, including some living with dementia. Further details on the latest CQC findings are set out below.
Amberley House is a residential care home in London providing accommodation and personal care for up to 30 older people, some living with dementia. At the time of the assessment only a small number of people were living there. The CQC rated the home Requires Improvement overall, though inspectors found previous breaches around risk assessment, staff training and governance had now been addressed.
Inspectors found good practice in several areas, with people describing staff as kind, supportive and reliable, and saying they felt safe. However, the CQC noted the provider still needs to show it can embed and sustain these improvements consistently, which will be reviewed at future assessments.

Read CQC's assessment overview
The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 4 March 2025. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.
Amberley House is a residential care home providing accommodation and personal care for up to 30 people aged 65 and over, some of whom may be living with dementia. At the time of the inspection there were 4 people living at the home. This assessment was carried out to check if the provider had improved the quality of care since the last inspection. This was the first assessment carried out under our single assessment framework and was unannounced. At our last inspection we found three breaches of regulation around ensuring people’s risks were robustly assessed, staff training and overall governance of the home, At this inspection we found the provider had addressed these and was no longer in breach of regulations. We assessed a total of eight quality statements from the safe, effective and well-led key questions. The scores for these areas have been combined with scores based on the key question ratings from the last inspection. The assessment of these eight quality statements indicated good practice since the last inspection, however, our overall rating remains requires improvement. Amberley House needs to demonstrate they are able to embed and maintain good practice and quality of care. This will be checked at future assessments.
