Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 29 good, 4 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. ?
China Cottage Care Home is one of 79 care homes in Doncaster: a 33-bed residential care home in Doncaster, run by Doncaster Property Investment Fund Limited. It is registered to care for older people and people with dementia.
In March 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in July 2019. CQC found some shortfalls in “workforce wellbeing and enablement”, one of 4 standards out of 33 scored below good.
None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in August 2026. That is true of 83% of homes in Doncaster. In Doncaster, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
