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. ?
M D Homes runs Northwood Nursing Home, a nursing home in Northwood, Hertfordshire with room for 35 residents. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs.
