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. ?
Ferndale Lodge is one of 123 care homes in Kirklees: a 8-bed residential care home in Huddersfield, run by Horizon Healthcare Homes Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people and people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Kirklees, where the median is 23 beds.
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in December 2019. 79% of homes in Kirklees also score 5. In Kirklees, 78% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). It is one of 9 homes run by Horizon Healthcare Homes Limited. 9 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In June 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in December 2015, was the same. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 40% of ratings in Kirklees are as old (how rating age varies by council).
