Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 29 standards: 29 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. ?
Jacobs Neurological Centre is in the Good tier ?, with 121 other homes in Hertfordshire.
76% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).
Jacobs Neurological Centre is one of 246 care homes in Hertfordshire: a 82-bed nursing home in Sawbridgeworth, run by Elysium Healthcare No.2 Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Hertfordshire has 30 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
In June 2025, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in December 2022, was the same. The typical rating in Hertfordshire is about 5 years old, so this one is fairly recent. All 29 standards CQC scored were good.
