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. ?
The home changed owner in September 2026. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Meadow Bank Care Home is a 120-bed nursing home in Preston, Lancashire, run by HC-One No.5 Limited. It is registered to care for older people and people with dementia. The typical home in Lancashire has 28 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
HC-One No.5 Limited runs 62 care homes, and 49 of the 60 rated are Good or Outstanding. The nearest home with a higher rating is Brookhaven (Outstanding), 0.8 km away. HC-One No.5 Limited has run the home since September 2026, when it changed owner. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from July 2025. 77% of homes in Lancashire also score 5. 257 other homes in Lancashire share its tier, “Good”.
In April 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Lancashire, 47% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
