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. ?
Methodist Homes runs Starr Hills, a residential care home in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire with room for 36 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people.
60 of Methodist Homes’s 69 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). It is the only Outstanding home among the 7 closest. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2026. 77% of homes in Lancashire also score 5. 13 other homes in Lancashire share its tier, “Outstanding”.
The current CQC rating is Outstanding, published in March 2019. Caring and responsive were also Outstanding. Safe, effective and well-led were rated Good. That matches its previous rating, from January 2017. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 47% of ratings in Lancashire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
