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. ?
Wellington Lodge is one of 86 care homes in Manchester: a 33-bed residential care home in Manchester, run by Anchor Hanover Group. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and younger adults. That is larger than most homes in Manchester, where the typical home has 21 beds.
101 of Anchor Hanover Group’s 118 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in August 2026. 87% of homes in Manchester also score 5. 48 other homes in Manchester share its tier, “Good”.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in November 2018. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in March 2016. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Manchester, 38% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
