Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 29 good, 1 exceptional, 3 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. ?
Artisan Ivy Opco Limited runs Middleton Lodge Care Home, a residential care home in Derby with room for 63 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. That is larger than most homes in Derby, where the typical home has 32 beds.
32 other homes in Derby share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in November 2024. 72% of homes in Derby also score 5. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 2 of Artisan Ivy Opco Limited’s 2 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
Its CQC rating, from December 2025, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Ratings in Derby are typically about 3 years old, which makes this one newer than most. 3 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “involving people to manage risks”.
