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. ?
The Rookery is one of 46 care homes in Salford: a 7-bed residential care home in Manchester, run by Heathcotes Care Limited. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Salford, where the typical home has 31 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in June 2019. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in September 2018. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Salford, 40% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in November 2023. That is true of 65% of homes in Salford. Across Salford, 76% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. It is one of 53 homes run by Heathcotes Care Limited. 45 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
