Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 29 good, 4 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. ?
Hatfield Peverel Lodge Care Home is one of 395 care homes in Essex: a 69-bed nursing home in Chelmsford, run by Bupa Care Homes (CFChomes) Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability. That is larger than most homes in Essex, where the typical home has 22 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in September 2025. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in January 2023. The typical rating in Essex is about 5 years old, so this one is fairly recent. 4 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “delivering evidence-based care and treatment”.
Bupa Care Homes (CFChomes) Limited runs 24 care homes, and 21 of the 24 rated are Good or Outstanding. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from August 2026. That is true of 89% of homes in Essex. 237 other homes in Essex share its tier, “Good”.
