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. ?
Willowbank is an independent 18-bed residential care home in Hadfield, Derbyshire, registered with CQC under its own name. CQC registers it to look after older people and people with dementia. That is smaller than most homes in Derbyshire, where the typical home has 30 beds.
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 3 (generally satisfactory), from September 2026. In Derbyshire, 93% of homes score 5. Across Derbyshire, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. 1 of the 6 nearest homes is also Outstanding.
The current CQC rating is Outstanding, published in August 2018. Caring and responsive were also Outstanding. Safe, effective and well-led were rated Good. Before that, in March 2016, it was rated Good. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Derbyshire, 33% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
