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. ?
RBS Care Limited runs The Cedars, a residential care home in Clacton On Sea, Essex with room for 13 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Essex has 22 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Its kitchen was rated 4 for food hygiene in May 2025. In Essex, 89% of homes score 5. Across Essex, 84% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from August 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in 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).
