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. ?
Okeley Care Home is one of 395 care homes in Essex: a 84-bed nursing home in Chelmsford, run by Okeley Healthcare Limited. It is registered to care for older people and people with dementia. The typical home in Essex has 22 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in March 2026. 89% of homes in Essex also score 5. Across Essex, 84% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from September 2023, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That is up from Requires improvement in December 2020.
