Rendle House is a residential home providing support to a small number of people with a learning disability and autistic people. The CQC found improvements since the home's previous inadequate rating, and it is no longer in Special Measures, but management of the service remains a repeated breach of regulations, with records incomplete, mental capacity assessments missing, and risk assessments lacking detail.

Inspectors found people were involved in daily decisions and choices about how they spent their time, with relatives speaking positively about kind, attentive care. The home is now rated Requires Improvement overall, reflecting ongoing concerns around safety and leadership despite good caring and responsive support.
