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. ?
Woodlands is an independent 22-bed residential care home in Southport, Sefton, registered with CQC under its own name. CQC registers it to look after people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs.
