Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
Effective was listed as not yet rated in the data provided, and the published inspection text does not contain any specific findings about training, care plan quality, healthcare access, or food. The home lists dementia as a specialism, which means inspectors would ordinarily examine whether staff have appropriate dementia-specific training and whether care plans reflect individual histories and preferences. No evidence confirming or contradicting this is available from the published findings provided here.Is this home caring?
Caring was listed as not yet rated in the data provided, and the published inspection text contains no specific observations about how staff interact with people who live here. No resident or relative quotes, no inspector observations about the pace of care, the use of preferred names, or responses to distress are available from the published findings. An Inadequate overall rating suggests inspectors had serious concerns, but the specific nature of those concerns cannot be confirmed from the text provided.Is the home responsive?
Responsive was listed as not yet rated in the data provided. No specific findings about activity programmes, individual engagement, or how the home responds to the preferences and changing needs of people who live here are available from the published inspection text. For a 125-bed home with a dementia specialism, the absence of any recorded evidence about individual engagement, including one-to-one activities for people who cannot participate in groups, is a significant gap in the available record.Is the home well-led?
Well-led was listed as not yet rated in the data provided. The home is registered to Advinia Care Homes Limited and has a named registered manager. An Inadequate overall rating, coming after a previous Requires Improvement rating, is a strong indicator that leadership and governance failures were identified, but the specific findings are not available in the inspection text provided. A subsequent assessment in March 2024 is recorded as having resulted in a Good rating for well-led, but that report is a separate document not available here.

What the evidence base says
The home cares for adults over 65 as well as younger adults who need support, including those with physical disabilities. They also provide specialist dementia care. While the home offers dementia support, visitors haven't shared specific details about their approach or activities. It's worth asking about their dementia care programme when you visit. All areas worth probing directly during a visit.
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
This home was rated Inadequate at the October 2023 inspection, having previously been rated Requires Improvement. That declining trend, combined with the absence of any specific positive findings across all five domains in the published report text, means there is insufficient evidence to score any theme above the threshold for concern. Families should treat this score as a serious caution signal.
Homes in North West typically score 68–82.The three-lens summary

Worth a visit
The home on Newton Street, Bury was rated Inadequate at its most recent inspection in October 2023, having previously been rated Requires Improvement. This declining trend across two consecutive inspections is a serious concern. The published report text provided for this analysis does not contain detailed findings across any of the five inspection domains, which means it is not possible to confirm what specific failures were identified or what improvement actions have been required. Before visiting or considering this home for your parent, you should request a copy of the full inspection report and ask the registered manager exactly what enforcement actions or conditions have been placed on the home, what has changed since October 2023, and whether a re-inspection has been scheduled. A subsequent assessment dated March 2024 appears to have resulted in Good ratings across all domains, but that report is a separate document not fully available here. Confirm the current position directly with the home and with the Care Quality Commission's online register before making any decisions.
