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. ?
Dercliffe Care Home is an independent 32-bed residential care home in Nelson, Lancashire, registered with CQC under its own name. It is registered to care for older people.
In February 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from October 2015. 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).
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Across Lancashire, 83% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in April 2026. That is true of 77% of homes in Lancashire.
