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. ?
An independent residential care home in Newark, Lincolnshire, Ayrshire House is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 15 beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Lincolnshire, where the median is 30 beds.
In December 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in May 2017. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 36% of ratings in Lincolnshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
Elston House, 8.5 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. Across Lincolnshire, 76% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2025. That is true of 95% of homes in Lincolnshire.
