STAGE 4 — RESEARCHING CARE HOMES
Visit homes. Compare them side by side. Choose with confidence.
Most of us will view care homes the way we view houses, impression, atmosphere, the feeling in the corridor. We go home, try to remember what we saw, and make a permanent decision from a blurred memory.
The DCC shortlist gives every home you visit a structured record: the same twelve questions, answered the same way, every time. When you’re ready to choose, pull any two homes side by side and compare them directly. Same criteria, same evidence, your notes and your scores.

The DCC Verdict
Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.
DCC Family Score
Cleggsworth Care Home scores 72 out of 100, reflecting a solid Good rating across all five inspection domains and a meaningful improvement from a previous Requires Improvement. The score is held back by limited specific detail in the published report, meaning several areas that matter most to families, including activities, food, and night staffing, cannot be verified from the inspection text alone.
Homes in North West typically score 68–82.Worth a visit
Cleggsworth Care Home, on Little Clegg Road in Littleborough, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its inspection in November 2021, with the full report published in March 2022. This is a notable improvement from a previous rating of Requires Improvement, which is an encouraging sign that the management team has identified and addressed earlier shortfalls. The home provides residential care for up to 38 adults over 65, including people living with dementia, and is led by a named registered manager. The main uncertainty here is that the published inspection text available for this report is very brief, meaning it is not possible to verify specific details about staffing warmth, activity programmes, food quality, or night cover from the inspection findings alone. The improvement from Requires Improvement is positive, but families should use a visit to fill in the gaps this report cannot answer. In particular, ask to see what has changed since the earlier inspection and how the home monitors that those improvements have been maintained.
