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. ?
The home changed owner in November 2025. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Catterall House Care Home is one of 413 care homes in Lancashire: a 24-bed residential care home in Preston, run by Samkar Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs.
Its CQC rating, from January 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Lancashire, 47% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
About 2.3 km away, Cornmill Nursing and Residential Care Home is rated Outstanding. It is one of 2 homes run by Samkar Limited. 2 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Across Lancashire, 83% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in August 2026. That is true of 77% of homes in Lancashire. The home changed owner in November 2025.
