Across Nottinghamshire, 23 of 254 rated care homes are Outstanding for Responsive (9%), while 21 of 254 rated care homes are Outstanding for Well-led (8%).

It sits in Hornby ward, classed by ONS as urban (nearer to a major town or city), among the 40% most deprived neighbourhoods in England. NHS services here are planned by NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB.

Within about a 10-minute walk there is a shop (4 min), a park (5 min), a café (8 min) and a bus stop (1 min), which matters for residents who can go out and for visiting family.

What CQC's inspectors reported

  • Feedback received from people who lived at the home and their relatives was exceptional and described a service that delivered high quality person-centred care.
  • The provider supported and guided people in creative and innovative ways to allow them to independently take their prescribed medicines safely.
  • There was a genuinely open culture in which all safety concerns raised are highly valued as integral to learning and improvement.
  • Staff training was developed and delivered around individual needs.

What it may cost

We estimate Esmer House at £1,130–£1,380 a week for residential care, based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £59k–£72k.

Ask whether the fee changes if needs increase, and what is extra: hairdressing, chiropody, outings and newspapers are often charged separately.

With savings below £23,250, Nottinghamshire Council may contribute once it has carried out a free needs assessment.

How long it has been running

CQC registration dates from December 2019, so the service has been operating for around 6 years under its current registration.

No new overall rating has been published for 4 years. CQC re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating is not a bad sign in itself, but staff and management may have changed.
