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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Talbot Care Services Ltd is one of 311 care homes in Norfolk: a 16-bed residential care home in Norwich, run by Eminent Care services LTD. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with mental health needs. That is smaller than most homes in Norfolk, where the typical home has 29 beds.
There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now. 122 other homes in Norfolk share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in January 2026. 89% of homes in Norfolk also score 5. Of the 4 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in July 2021. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its previous rating, in May 2019, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 46% of ratings in Norfolk are as old (how rating age varies by council).
