Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 33 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. ?
Ash Lea House is one of 243 care homes in Derbyshire: a 14-bed residential care home in Alfreton, run by Clearwater Care (Hackney) Limited. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Derbyshire has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Clearwater Care (Hackney) Limited runs 5 care homes, and 4 of the 5 rated are Good or Outstanding. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2024. 93% of homes in Derbyshire also score 5. Across Derbyshire, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in September 2026. Its rating before that, in July 2018, was the same. Ratings in Derbyshire are typically about 4 years old, which makes this one newer than most. CQC scored 33 standards, and every one was good.
