Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 29 good, 4 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Mrs Nicola Schofield runs Rose Cottage Rest Home, a residential care home in Loughborough, Leicestershire with room for 17 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Leicestershire has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 94 other homes in Leicestershire share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in February 2025. 82% of homes in Leicestershire also score 5.
Its CQC rating, from July 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in September 2019, was the same. The typical rating in Leicestershire is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. CQC found some shortfalls in “learning culture”, one of 4 standards out of 33 scored below good.
