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. ?
Newlands is one of 395 care homes in Essex: a 8-bed residential care home in Colchester, run by Pathways Care Group Limited. CQC registers it to look after people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Essex, where the typical home has 22 beds.
16 of Pathways Care Group Limited’s 16 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 237 other homes in Essex share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in September 2023. 89% of homes in Essex also score 5.
Its CQC rating, from December 2021, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Before that, in August 2019, it was rated Requires improvement.
