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. ?
Ayletts House is a 27-bed residential care home in Chelmsford, Essex, run by The Croll Group. Its CQC registration covers older people.
In March 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from August 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 48% of ratings in Essex are as old (how rating age varies by council).
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 4 out of 5 in July 2026. 89% of homes in Essex score the top mark of 5. 237 other homes in Essex share its tier, “Good”. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
