Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 27 good, 6 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. ?
Run by Amicis Care Limited, Dalkeith is a residential care home in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire with 20 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment.
Its CQC rating, from October 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from January 2020. Ratings in Gloucestershire are typically about 5 years old, which makes this one newer than most. 6 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “independence, choice and control”.
117 other homes in Gloucestershire share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in May 2026. That is true of 91% of homes in Gloucestershire. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
