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. ?
Run by Coverage Care Services Limited, Woodcroft is a residential care home in Market Drayton, Shropshire with 50 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Shropshire has 29 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
It is the only Outstanding home among the 7 closest. Coverage Care Services Limited runs 10 care homes, and all 10 rated are Good or Outstanding. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in September 2025. 91% of homes in Shropshire also score 5. In Shropshire, 80% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
CQC last rated the home in March 2019, giving it Outstanding overall. It was Outstanding for caring and responsive as well. CQC rated safe, effective and well-led as Good. Its previous rating, in September 2016, was Good, so the home has improved. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 53% of homes in Shropshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
