Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 30 good, 1 exceptional, 2 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. ?
Run by Kisimul Group Limited, Blythe House is a residential care home in Faldingworth, Lincolnshire with 10 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Lincolnshire has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Its CQC rating, from September 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in April 2019, was the same. Ratings in Lincolnshire are typically about 4 years old, which makes this one newer than most. 2 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “monitoring and improving outcomes”.
18 of Kisimul Group Limited’s 21 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). The Old Hall, 12.2 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. In Lincolnshire, 76% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in May 2024. That is true of 95% of homes in Lincolnshire.
