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. ?
Glendale Residential Care Home is a 20-bed residential care home in Dunmow, Essex. The home is its own registered provider. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment.
Across Essex, 84% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in May 2026. 89% of homes in Essex also score 5. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In May 2021, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in March 2020, it was rated Requires improvement. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Essex, 48% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
