The Croft is a residential care home in Amersham in Buckinghamshire, run by Agincare (Southwark) Limited. CQC registers it for 60 places and supports older people, people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment.

Its latest CQC rating, published March 2019, is Good overall, and Good in all five key questions. This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner.

CQC decides when to re-inspect based on risk, so this isn't a mark against the home, but it's worth asking what has changed since.
