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 Eastern Healthcare Ltd, Blyford Residential Home is a residential care home in Lowestoft, Suffolk with 53 registered beds. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment.
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in April 2025. 92% of homes in Suffolk also score 5. Across Suffolk, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. About 1.9 km away, Harleston House is rated Outstanding. It is one of 4 homes run by Eastern Healthcare Ltd. 3 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
Its CQC rating, from June 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Before that, in June 2018, it was rated Requires improvement. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 32% of homes in Suffolk. Here is how rating age varies by council.
