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. ?
Sherwood Lodge is one of 413 care homes in Lancashire: a 49-bed residential care home in Preston, run by Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited. It is registered to care for older people and people with dementia. Most homes in Lancashire are smaller: the median there is 28 beds.
Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited runs 210 care homes, and 175 of the 198 rated are Good or Outstanding. 257 other homes in Lancashire share its tier, “Good”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from October 2025. 77% of homes in Lancashire also score 5.
In April 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That is up from Inadequate in November 2018. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Lancashire, 47% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
