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. ?
Ashlar House is one of 395 care homes in Essex: a 44-bed nursing home in Epping, run by Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and younger adults. The typical home in Essex has 22 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. It is one of 210 homes run by Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited. 175 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Across Essex, 84% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
Its CQC rating, from November 2023, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from June 2018.
