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. ?
Pennystone Court is a 36-bed residential care home in Blackpool, run by Methodist Homes. CQC registers it to look after older people and people with dementia. Most homes in Blackpool are smaller: the median there is 24 beds.
It is one of 69 homes run by Methodist Homes. 60 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. About 0.6 km away, Links Lodge is rated Outstanding. In Blackpool, 79% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in September 2026. 78% of homes in Blackpool also score 5.
Its CQC rating, from September 2017, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in September 2015, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Blackpool, 32% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
