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. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
THE CHESTNUTS RESIDENTIAL CARE HOME is in the Good tier ?, with 89 other homes in Cambridgeshire.
92% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).
Run by MM2 Care Homes Ltd, THE CHESTNUTS RESIDENTIAL CARE HOME is a residential care home in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire with 39 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment.
89 other homes in Cambridgeshire share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in June 2026. 88% of homes in Cambridgeshire also score 5. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In August 2017, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. That matches its previous rating, from April 2015. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Cambridgeshire, 64% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
