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. ?
Carleton House is a 12-bed residential care home in Fulwood, Lancashire, run by Liberty Optimum Care Ltd. It is registered to care for people with mental health needs. The typical home in Lancashire has 28 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In September 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in February 2015, was the same. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 47% of ratings in Lancashire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
Across Lancashire, 83% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in October 2024. That is true of 77% of homes in Lancashire. The nearest home with a higher rating is Mansard House (Outstanding), 0.2 km away.
