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. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Inglewood is a 38-bed residential care home in Wigton, Cumberland, run by Cumberland Council. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. That is larger than most homes in Cumberland, where the typical home has 25 beds.
CQC last rated the home in December 2021, giving it Outstanding overall. Caring and well-led were also Outstanding. For safe, effective and responsive, the rating was Good. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. It was also rated Outstanding at the inspection before, in February 2020.
2 other homes in Cumberland share its tier, “Outstanding”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in March 2026. That is true of 90% of homes in Cumberland.
