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. ?
Irchester 170 is a 6-bed residential care home in Wellingborough, North Northamptonshire, run by Achieve Together Limited. It is registered to care for younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in North Northamptonshire has 24 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Its CQC rating, from March 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in March 2018, was Outstanding, so the home has slipped. That is more recent than most ratings in North Northamptonshire, where the typical rating is about 4 years old.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in October 2025. That is true of 99% of homes in North Northamptonshire. 62 other homes in North Northamptonshire share its tier, “Good”. The nearest home with a higher rating is Irchester 168 (Outstanding), 0.0 km away. Achieve Together Limited runs 139 care homes, and 115 of the 138 rated are Good or Outstanding. The home changed owner in November 2025.
