Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 27 good, 1 exceptional, 5 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. ?
Ribble Valley Care Home is a 40-bed residential care home in Clitheroe, Lancashire, run by Townfield Ribble Valley Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability.
