About care in DE24
DE24 covers Allenton, Alvaston, Chellaston, and Shelton Lock in the south-eastern residential areas of Derby — a largely suburban district south of the city centre running toward the Derbyshire countryside at Chellaston. The 12 CQC-registered homes hold 481 beds; seven are rated Good, two Require Improvement, one is Inadequate, and two are Not Yet Rated. The Inadequate-rated home should be excluded from consideration immediately. Elvaston Lodge Nursing Home and The Yews Residential Home are among the established Good-rated providers. Derby City Council is the commissioning authority; Derby's personal budget rates are among the lower in the East Midlands, reflecting the council's financial position. Royal Derby Hospital (Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust) is the main acute trust, within easy reach of all DE24 homes. Road connections via the A514, A6, and A50 provide reasonable links toward the M1 and East Midlands. Two Not Yet Rated homes in DE24 carry additional uncertainty, and the two Requires Improvement settings should be checked carefully before any shortlisting decision.
