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. ?
Rowans is an independent 8-bed residential care home in Tiptree, Essex, registered with CQC under its own name. CQC registers it to look after people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Essex has 22 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from August 2026. 89% of homes in Essex also score 5. Across Essex, 84% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
In May 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from October 2016. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Essex, 48% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
