Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 31 good, 2 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. ?
St Michaels Nursing Home is a 39-bed nursing home in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, run by SMN Investment Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs, people with a sensory impairment, people who use drugs or alcohol, people with an eating disorder and people detained under the Mental Health Act.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 130 other homes in Derbyshire share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in August 2025. 93% of homes in Derbyshire also score 5.
Its CQC rating, from July 2024, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from July 2023. 2 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “equity in access”.
