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. ?
An independent residential care home in Pontefract, Wakefield, Carleton Court Care Home is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 35 beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Wakefield has 22 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from April 2025. 88% of homes in Wakefield also score 5. 49 other homes in Wakefield share its tier, “Good”.
In November 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in April 2017. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Wakefield, 33% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
