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. ?
New Lane is a 7-bed residential care home in Bolton, run by Bolton Cares (A) Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs, people who use drugs or alcohol and people with an eating disorder. That is smaller than most homes in Bolton, where the typical home has 28 beds.
Its CQC rating, from June 2021, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from October 2019. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 39% of ratings in Bolton are as old (how rating age varies by council).
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in August 2025. That is true of 84% of homes in Bolton.
