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. ?
Innova Care Limited runs Poplars, a residential care home in Braintree, Essex with room for 6 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. That is smaller than most homes in Essex, where the typical home has 22 beds.
Its CQC rating, from April 2023, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Before that, in November 2019, it was rated Requires improvement.
None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. In Essex, 84% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
