Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 27 good, 4 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. ?
Asher House is a 6-bed nursing home in Walton On The Naze, Essex, run by Elysium Healthcare No. 4 Limited. CQC registers it to look after 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.
Its CQC rating, from October 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Ratings in Essex are typically about 5 years old, which makes this one newer than most. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 2 fell below good. The lowest was “planning for the future” (some shortfalls).
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from March 2026. That is true of 89% of homes in Essex.
