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. ?
Wheatlands is one of 112 care homes in Shropshire: a 53-bed residential care home in Much Wenlock, run by Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people and people with dementia. The typical home in Shropshire has 29 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. It is one of 210 homes run by Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited. 175 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. 60 other homes in Shropshire share its tier, “Good”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from September 2026. 91% of homes in Shropshire also score 5.
In December 2022, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from July 2019. The typical rating in Shropshire is about 7 years old, so this one is fairly recent.
