The home changed owner in April 2024. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
The Croft Care Home is an independent 28-bed residential care home in Clitheroe, Lancashire, registered with CQC under its own name. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in May 2018. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Before that, in April 2017, it was rated Requires improvement. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Lancashire, 47% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
