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. ?
St. Michael's Homes Limited runs Dudbrook House, a residential care home in Brentwood, Essex with room for 73 residents. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and younger adults. That is larger than most homes in Essex, where the typical home has 22 beds.
