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. ?
De Brook Lodge is a 52-bed residential care home in Manchester, Trafford, run by Ideal Carehomes (Number One) Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and younger adults. The typical home in Trafford has 24 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
In October 2021, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in September 2020, was the same. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 32% of ratings in Trafford are as old (how rating age varies by council).
It is one of 10 homes run by Ideal Carehomes (Number One) Limited. 7 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Bowfell House, 1.2 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. 32 other homes in Trafford share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in November 2025. That is true of 95% of homes in Trafford.
