Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 27 good, 6 below 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. ?
Malvern Nursing Home is one of 107 care homes in Bradford: a 22-bed nursing home in Bradford, run by The Malvern Group Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults and people with mental health needs.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2025. 85% of homes in Bradford also score 5. 50 other homes in Bradford share its tier, “Good”. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In January 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from November 2018. Ratings in Bradford are typically about 3 years old, which makes this one newer than most. 6 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “infection prevention and control”.
