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 December 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. ?
The Disabilities Trust runs Myland House, a residential care home in Colchester, Essex with room for 5 residents. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults and people with a physical disability. The typical home in Essex has 22 beds, so this one is on the small side.
11 of The Disabilities Trust’s 13 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). The Disabilities Trust has run the home since December 2024, when it changed owner. About 0.4 km away, Alderwood Care Home is rated Outstanding. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in March 2025. 89% of homes in Essex also score 5. 237 other homes in Essex share its tier, “Good”.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in April 2019. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in October 2016. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 48% of homes in Essex. Here is how rating age varies by council.
