A Wigan-based dementia care home has achieved the highest possible accreditation for its outstanding commitment to dementia care.

accreditation.

Worthington Lake Care Home, part of the family-run Millennium Care Group, is the first care home in 2025 to receive a prestigious three-star accreditation from the National Dementia Care Accreditation Scheme (NaDCAS), an accolade placing it among the top 10% of care homes assessed nationwide.

Kim Jones, Home Manager at Worthington Lake Care Home, said: “Achieving a three-star accreditation for dementia care validates our dedication to excellence and ongoing improvement. It strengthens our commitment to providing the highest standards of support, ensuring our residents live in a safe, engaging, and supportive environment.

“This recognition also offers families peace of mind, knowing their loved ones are receiving expert care every day."

Claire Reading, Director of Partnership at NaDCAS, said: "Achieving NaDCAS accreditation is a testament to the exceptional standard of care provided at Worthington Lake Care Home. This three-star rating reflects their unwavering commitment to excellence and to enhancing the lives of those living with dementia."
