Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 15 good, 18 exceptional. 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. ?
Langdale Heights is a 31-bed nursing home in Derby. The home is its own registered provider. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs, people with a sensory impairment and people with an eating disorder.
The current CQC rating is Outstanding, published in May 2026. Safe, caring, responsive and well-led were also Outstanding. CQC rated effective as Good. Before that, in August 2018, it was rated Good. The typical rating in Derby is about 3 years old, so this one is fairly recent. 18 of the 33 standards CQC scored were exceptional, and none fell below good.
