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. ?
Aldeburgh House is one of 395 care homes in Essex: a 8-bed residential care home in Colchester, run by Consensus Support Services Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Essex has 22 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 52 of Consensus Support Services Limited’s 55 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). 237 other homes in Essex share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in April 2025. 89% of homes in Essex also score 5.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in December 2017. Its rating before that, in November 2015, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Essex, 48% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
