Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 33 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. ?
Helmsley Road Short Breaks Service is in the Good tier ?, with 154 other homes in Nottinghamshire.
85% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).
Nottinghamshire County Council runs Helmsley Road Short Breaks Service, a residential care home in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire with room for 12 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Nottinghamshire has 26 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in May 2025. 89% of homes in Nottinghamshire also score 5. 154 other homes in Nottinghamshire share its tier, “Good”. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 2 of Nottinghamshire County Council’s 3 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
In August 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from March 2018. The typical rating in Nottinghamshire is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. CQC scored 33 standards, and every one was good.
