Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 27 good, 6 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Bassingham Care Centre is a 60-bed nursing home in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, run by My Bassingham Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs. Most homes in Lincolnshire are smaller: the median there is 30 beds.
Across Lincolnshire, 76% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from April 2026. 95% of homes in Lincolnshire also score 5. Village Farm, 2.6 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding.
Its CQC rating, from January 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in November 2023.
