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. ?
Run by Mrs S L Pitman and D J Wheeler, King Edward Care Home is a residential care home in Blackpool with 13 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers people with dementia. The typical home in Blackpool has 24 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Its CQC rating, from October 2022, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in February 2019, was the same.
Across Blackpool, 79% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2025. That is true of 78% of homes in Blackpool. Links Lodge, 0.5 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding.
