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. ?
Norcott Lodge is a 9-bed residential care home in Liversedge, Kirklees, run by Short Ground Limited. CQC registers it to look after younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. That is smaller than most homes in Kirklees, where the typical home has 23 beds.
In December 2018, 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 May 2016. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Kirklees, 40% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
In Kirklees, 78% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in February 2026. That is true of 79% of homes in Kirklees. CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Short Ground Limited runs 2 care homes, and 1 of the 2 rated are Good or Outstanding.
