Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 16 good, 1 exceptional, 16 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Mrs S L Clayton runs Adalena House, a residential care home in Blackpool with room for 6 residents. CQC registers it to look after people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Blackpool, where the median is 24 beds.
CQC last rated the home in June 2026, giving it Requires improvement overall. Safe and well-led were also Requires improvement. For effective, caring and responsive, the rating was Good. That is down from Good in January 2020. The typical rating in Blackpool is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. 16 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “safe and effective staffing”.
12 other homes in Blackpool share its tier, “Requires improvement”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2025. That is true of 78% of homes in Blackpool. Glenthorne Rest Home Limited, 0.2 km away, is the closest home rated Good.
