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. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Care Luxe Limited runs Links Lodge, a residential care home in Blackpool with room for 8 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Blackpool has 24 beds, so this one is on the small side.
The current CQC rating is Outstanding, published in November 2018. Effective, caring, responsive and well-led were also Outstanding. CQC rated safe as Good. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. It was also rated Outstanding at the inspection before, in April 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 32% of ratings in Blackpool are as old (how rating age varies by council).
None of the 6 nearest homes is rated Outstanding. Across Blackpool, 79% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
