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. ?
Hilton House is a 10-bed residential care home in Colchester, Essex. The home is its own registered provider. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is a small home for Essex, where the median is 22 beds.
In February 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from April 2017. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 48% of homes in Essex. Here is how rating age varies by council.
None of the 4 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. In Essex, 84% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from August 2026. That is true of 89% of homes in Essex.
