Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 30 good, 1 exceptional, 2 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Ideal Carehomes Limited runs Littleton Lodge, a residential care home in Cannock, Staffordshire with room for 66 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Staffordshire has 28 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
In November 2024, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That is more recent than most ratings in Staffordshire, where the typical rating is about 5 years old. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 2 fell below good. The lowest was “assessing needs” (some shortfalls).
None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Ideal Carehomes Limited runs 11 care homes, and all 11 rated are Good or Outstanding. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from January 2026. That is true of 85% of homes in Staffordshire. In Staffordshire, 78% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
