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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Run by Marigold MG1 Ltd, Hargrave House is a residential care home in Stansted, Essex with 58 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and younger adults. The typical home in Essex has 22 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in May 2026. 89% of homes in Essex also score 5. 237 other homes in Essex share its tier, “Good”. There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now. Marigold MG1 Ltd runs 6 care homes, and all 6 rated are Good or Outstanding. Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In May 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from September 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 48% of ratings in Essex are as old (how rating age varies by council).
