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. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Cumberland Council runs Richmond Park, a residential care home in Workington, Cumberland with room for 29 residents. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment.
47 other homes in Cumberland share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2025. 90% of homes in Cumberland also score 5. 7 of Cumberland Council’s 8 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Walsingham Support - Crummock Road, 1.4 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding.
In November 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its rating before that, in June 2017, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Cumberland, 42% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
