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. ?
Kendal Care Home is in the Good tier ?, with 36 other homes in Westmorland and Furness.
89% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).
Kendal Care Home is a 120-bed nursing home in Kendal, Westmorland and Furness, run by Abbey Healthcare (Westmoreland) Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs. That is larger than most homes in Westmorland and Furness, where the typical home has 29 beds.
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2026. 96% of homes in Westmorland and Furness also score 5. 36 other homes in Westmorland and Furness share its tier, “Good”. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In August 2021, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in February 2019, was the same. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 53% of homes in Westmorland and Furness. Here is how rating age varies by council.
