Merlewood House is a residential care home in Great Harwood, run by National Autistic Society (The). It is registered for up to 6 residents and supports younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment.
CQC rated it Good overall in April 2019, and Good in all five key questions. Across Lancashire, 84% of the 390 rated care homes are Good or Outstanding. The rating is 7 years old. CQC decides when to re-inspect based on risk, so this isn't a mark against the home, but it's worth asking what has changed since.
