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 Autism Initiatives (UK), Lethbridge Road is a residential care home in Southport, Sefton with 7 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. That is smaller than most homes in Sefton, where the typical home has 27 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in September 2019. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in February 2017. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 53% of ratings in Sefton are as old (how rating age varies by council).
Across Sefton, 79% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in January 2026. That is true of 94% of homes in Sefton. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. It is one of 10 homes run by Autism Initiatives (UK). 10 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
