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. ?
Masterpalm Properties Limited runs Brierfields, a residential care home in Manchester, Oldham with room for 37 residents. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment.
In February 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That is up from Requires improvement in January 2019. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Oldham, 35% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
It is one of 4 homes run by Masterpalm Properties Limited. 2 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 4 out of 5 in June 2026. 76% of homes in Oldham score the top mark of 5. 28 other homes in Oldham share its tier, “Good”.
