Nursing home · Chelmsford
Bishop Lodge, Chelmsford CM3 2JL — 60 beds, run by GCH (South) Ltd under the Gold Care Homes brand.
Essex Council pays £770 a week for a residential place here. A family paying for itself is almost always quoted more than that, for the same room.
Source: Essex County Council Provider Hub, Rate Uplifts: minimum Integrated Residential and Nursing framework rates from 6 April 2026. Essex sets district-level price points; any placement below these minimums is raised to them, so treat these as the floor rather than a typical rate, effective 6 April 2026; we last checked it on 11 August 2026. We do not print an estimate of what Peverel Green Care Home charges a self-funding family, because no such figure has been published and we will not invent one. The council rate is the firm number to negotiate against.
The CQC has not published an overall rating for Peverel Green Care Home.

Every line comes from the CQC register, not from the home. If something is wrong, tell us and we will check it against the register.
Distances are straight-line from the registered address — useful for working out who could visit easily, which matters more than most things on this page.
The list above is by distance alone. This one keeps only homes whose rating is both good and recent — the two things a rating needs to be worth much.
Published fees go stale within months. Tell us what care is needed and we will ask Peverel Green Care Home directly, then send you the reply. We are paid nothing if you move in, so we have no reason to push you here or anywhere else.
