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. ?
The Emmie Dixon Home is a 12-bed residential care home in Crewe, Cheshire East. The home is its own registered provider. Its CQC registration covers people with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Cheshire East, where the median is 44 beds.
49 other homes in Cheshire East share its tier, “Good”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from October 2024. 95% of homes in Cheshire East also score 5. Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In September 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in March 2018. That is more recent than most ratings in Cheshire East, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 2 fell below good.
