Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 28 good, 3 exceptional, 2 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
7 Eworth Close is one of 47 care homes in Swindon: a 6-bed residential care home in Swindon, run by Millfield James Limited. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Swindon has 14 beds, so this one is on the small side.
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 4 (good), from January 2024. In Swindon, 92% of homes score 5. Across Swindon, 89% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 2 of Millfield James Limited’s 2 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
In June 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in October 2017. 2 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “consent to care and treatment”.
