Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 19 good, 14 exceptional. 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. ?
Run by Creative Care (East Midlands) Limited, Charnwood House is a residential care home in Newark, Nottinghamshire with 4 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Nottinghamshire has 26 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Creative Care (East Midlands) Limited runs 9 care homes, and 8 of the 9 rated are Good or Outstanding. 1 of the 6 nearest homes is also Outstanding. In Nottinghamshire, 85% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
CQC last rated the home in March 2026, giving it Outstanding overall. It was Outstanding for caring, responsive and well-led as well. For safe and effective, the rating was Good. That is more recent than most ratings in Nottinghamshire, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. 14 of the 33 standards CQC scored were exceptional, and none fell below good.
