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. ?
Living Developments Limited runs Elm Tree House, a residential care home in Newton Le Willows, St. Helens with room for 20 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs.
Haydock Lodge, 1.7 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. In St. Helens, 89% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in March 2026. 86% of homes in St. Helens also score 5.
