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. ?
Ashwood Court - Unit 1 is one of 61 care homes in Wigan: a 17-bed residential care home in Warrington, run by Making Space. It is registered to care for people with mental health needs. That is smaller than most homes in Wigan, where the typical home has 40 beds.
Its CQC rating, from November 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in March 2016, was the same. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 45% of ratings in Wigan are as old (how rating age varies by council).
It is one of 12 homes run by Making Space. 11 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Heathside Residential Home, 2.9 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. 36 other homes in Wigan share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in November 2025. That is true of 64% of homes in Wigan.
