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. ?
Run by Angel Care plc, Birchy Hill Care Home is a nursing home in Lymington, Hampshire with 70 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with mental health needs. That is larger than most homes in Hampshire, where the typical home has 25 beds.
264 other homes in Hampshire share its tier, “Good”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from April 2026. 84% of homes in Hampshire also score 5. The nearest home with a higher rating is Woodpeckers (Outstanding), 4.0 km away. Angel Care plc runs 2 care homes, and 1 of the 2 rated are Good or Outstanding.
In December 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in May 2016, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Hampshire, 46% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
