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. ?
Belamacanda is one of 395 care homes in Essex: a 22-bed residential care home in Clacton On Sea, run by Black Swan International Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults and people with a physical disability.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in April 2026. 89% of homes in Essex also score 5. Across Essex, 84% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. It is one of 23 homes run by Black Swan International Limited. 22 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in September 2017. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in July 2015. 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).
