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. ?
The home changed owner in September 2024. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Ridgeway Nursing Home is one of 243 care homes in Derbyshire: a 37-bed nursing home in Belper, run by DJB Care Services Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment.
Its CQC rating, from March 2023, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. That is up from Requires improvement in October 2021.
The nearest home with a higher rating is Spencer Grove Care Home (Outstanding), 2.8 km away. The home changed owner in September 2024. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in September 2026. That is true of 93% of homes in Derbyshire. Across Derbyshire, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
