Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 32 good, 1 exceptional. 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. ?
Run by Langley Trust, Longcroft is a residential care home in Lancaster, Lancashire with 15 registered beds. 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, people with mental health needs, people with a sensory impairment and people who use drugs or alcohol. The typical home in Lancashire has 28 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In July 2025, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in April 2019. That is more recent than most ratings in Lancashire, where the typical rating is about 5 years old. 1 of the 33 standards CQC scored were exceptional, and none fell below good.
257 other homes in Lancashire share its tier, “Good”. Lancaster and Morecambe Short Breaks Service, 2.5 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. It is one of 5 homes run by Langley Trust. 4 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
