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 Grange is a 43-bed residential care home in Wickford, Essex, run by Runwood Homes Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. That is larger than most homes in Essex, where the typical home has 22 beds.
Across Essex, 84% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from August 2025. 89% of homes in Essex also score 5. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 46 of Runwood Homes Limited’s 55 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
In May 2022, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in October 2021, it was rated Inadequate.
