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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Madeline McKenna Court is one of 25 care homes in Halton: a 23-bed residential care home in Widnes, run by Halton Borough Council. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and younger adults.
Across Halton, 75% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in March 2025. 75% of homes in Halton also score 5. There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now. Halton Borough Council runs 5 care homes, and 2 of the 5 rated are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from February 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Halton, 50% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
