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. ?
Run by Abbey Healthcare (Farnworth) Limited, Farnworth Care Home is a nursing home in Bolton with 120 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. That is larger than most homes in Bolton, where the typical home has 28 beds.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from January 2026. 84% of homes in Bolton also score 5. In Bolton, 84% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in December 2020. That is up from Requires improvement in November 2019. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 39% of homes in Bolton. Here is how rating age varies by council.
