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. ?
The Millfield is one of 78 care homes in Cumberland: a 45-bed residential care home in Keswick, run by Cumbria Nursing Services (Millfield) Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Cumberland has 25 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in February 2019. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in July 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 42% of ratings in Cumberland are as old (how rating age varies by council).
