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. ?
Butterflys Care Homes Ltd runs Meadows, a residential care home in Braintree, Essex with room for 7 residents. It is registered to care for younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. That is smaller than most homes in Essex, where the typical home has 22 beds.
The current CQC rating is Good, published in May 2019. Safe, effective, caring and responsive were also Good. CQC rated well-led as Requires improvement. That matches its previous rating, from October 2015. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Essex, 48% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
In Essex, 84% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in November 2023. That is true of 89% of homes in Essex. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Butterflys Care Homes Ltd runs 4 care homes, and all 4 rated are Good or Outstanding.
