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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Elms House is one of 413 care homes in Lancashire: a 6-bed residential care home in Clitheroe, run by Mrs Joanne Brown. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is a small home for Lancashire, where the median is 28 beds.
There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now. 257 other homes in Lancashire share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in August 2026. 77% of homes in Lancashire also score 5. Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from July 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in March 2016. 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).
