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. ?
Heathfield Gardens is one of 243 care homes in Derbyshire: a 11-bed residential care home in Alfreton, run by Potensial Limited. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Derbyshire has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in June 2018. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 33% of ratings in Derbyshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
22 of Potensial Limited’s 23 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Across Derbyshire, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in August 2025. That is true of 93% of homes in Derbyshire.
