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. ?
Ivy Cottage (Ackton) Ltd runs Ivy Lodge, a residential care home in Rotherham, Barnsley with room for 10 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Barnsley has 33 beds, so this one is on the small side.
It is one of 5 homes run by Ivy Cottage (Ackton) Ltd. 4 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in September 2026. 80% of homes in Barnsley also score 5. Across Barnsley, 82% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in February 2023. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in December 2017.
