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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Alverthorpe is a 8-bed residential care home in Wakefield, run by Heathcotes Care Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Wakefield has 22 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In March 2023, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in October 2018, was the same.
CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. In Wakefield, 75% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). It is one of 53 homes run by Heathcotes Care Limited. 45 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
