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. ?
Winifred Dell Care Home is a 76-bed nursing home in Brentwood, Essex, run by Winifred Healthcare Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people and people with dementia. That is larger than most homes in Essex, where the typical home has 22 beds.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now. Across Essex, 84% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in September 2025. 89% of homes in Essex also score 5.
In September 2023, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in January 2020, was the same.
