Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 31 good, 2 exceptional. 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. ?
Millbrook House is a 33-bed residential care home in Blandford Forum, Dorset. The home is its own registered provider. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment.
The nearest home with a higher rating is Nazareth Lodge (Outstanding), 4.5 km away. 80 other homes in Dorset share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in November 2025. 100% of homes in Dorset also score 5.
Its CQC rating, from June 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in June 2018. The typical rating in Dorset is about 3 years old, so this one is fairly recent. CQC scored 33 standards: 2 exceptional and the rest good.
