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. ?
Cliff House Care Home is one of 243 care homes in Derbyshire: a 40-bed residential care home in Chesterfield, run by Knightingale Care Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs.
In December 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 33% of ratings in Derbyshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
