Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 20 good, 13 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. ?
Camellia House is in the Requires improvement tier ?, with 36 other homes in Nottinghamshire.
85% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).

CQC last rated the home in December 2025, giving it Requires improvement overall. It was Requires improvement for effective and well-led as well. CQC rated safe, caring and responsive as Good.
