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 Sisters of Mercy of the Union of Great Britain runs St Michael's Care Home, a residential care home in Clacton On Sea, Essex with room for 44 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. That is larger than most homes in Essex, where the typical home has 22 beds.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in December 2025. 89% of homes in Essex also score 5. 237 other homes in Essex share its tier, “Good”.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in February 2020. That matches its previous rating, from June 2017. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 48% of ratings in Essex are as old (how rating age varies by council).
