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. ?
3L Care - Atherton is an independent 10-bed nursing home in Manchester, Wigan, registered with CQC under its own name. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and children. The typical home in Wigan has 40 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In September 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Wigan, 45% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
3 of 3L Care Limited’s 3 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). About 0.6 km away, Belong Atherton Care Village is rated Outstanding. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in July 2025. That is true of 64% of homes in Wigan. 36 other homes in Wigan share its tier, “Good”.
