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. ?
Paxton House is a 8-bed residential care home in Derby, Derbyshire, run by Potensial Limited. Its CQC registration covers younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Derbyshire, where the typical home has 30 beds.
In Derbyshire, 81% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from September 2025. 93% of homes in Derbyshire also score 5. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Potensial Limited runs 23 care homes, and 22 of the 23 rated are Good or Outstanding.
Its CQC rating, from January 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Derbyshire, 33% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
