Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 28 good, 5 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. ?
Beech Lodge - Mablethorpe is one of 279 care homes in Lincolnshire: a 9-bed residential care home in Mablethorpe, run by Linkage Community Trust. Its CQC registration covers people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Lincolnshire has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
