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. ?
The home changed owner in September 2024. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Milford House Care Home is a 65-bed nursing home in Belper, Derbyshire, run by Milford Care Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability. That is larger than most homes in Derbyshire, where the typical home has 30 beds.
Milford Care Limited has run the home since September 2024, when it changed owner. 3 of Milford Care Limited’s 3 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in January 2026. 93% of homes in Derbyshire also score 5. 130 other homes in Derbyshire share its tier, “Good”.
Its CQC rating, from May 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its previous rating, in August 2017, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Derbyshire, 33% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
