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. ?
Run by Bupa Care Homes (BNH) Limited, The Lawns Care Home is a nursing home in Chelmsford, Essex with 52 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. That is larger than most homes in Essex, where the typical home has 22 beds.
Its CQC rating, from December 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in April 2017. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Essex, 48% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 21 of Bupa Care Homes (BNH) Limited’s 26 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. 237 other homes in Essex share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in July 2026. That is true of 89% of homes in Essex.
