Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 28 good, 3 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. ?
Lansdowne Road Limited runs Charnwood Lodge, a residential care home in Loughborough, Leicestershire with room for 17 residents. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Leicestershire has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Across Leicestershire, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 4 out of 5 in February 2026. In Leicestershire, 82% of homes score 5. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. It is one of 3 homes run by Lansdowne Road Limited. 3 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
In May 2025, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in December 2019, was the same. That is more recent than most ratings in Leicestershire, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 2 fell below good. The lowest was “listening to and involving people” (some shortfalls).
