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. ?
Longwood Place is one of 395 care homes in Essex: a 9-bed residential care home in Langdon Hill, run by Essex County Council. Its CQC registration covers people with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. That is smaller than most homes in Essex, where the typical home has 22 beds.
The nearest home with a higher rating is The Oakes (Outstanding), 2.4 km away. 3 of Essex County Council’s 4 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). 237 other homes in Essex share its tier, “Good”.
Its CQC rating, from May 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in February 2016, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Essex, 48% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
