Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 31 good, 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. ?
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. ?
Newfield Lodge is one of 96 care homes in Wakefield: a 64-bed residential care home in Castleford, run by Ideal Carehomes (Number One) Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people and people with dementia. That is larger than most homes in Wakefield, where the typical home has 22 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in October 2026. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in November 2019. Ratings in Wakefield are typically about 4 years old, which makes this one newer than most. CQC found some shortfalls in “safe environments”, one of 2 standards out of 33 scored below good.
