Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 29 good, 4 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. ?
Courtlands Lodge is a 25-bed nursing home in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, run by Life Care (UK) Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with mental health needs.
Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 147 other homes in Lincolnshire share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in February 2026. 95% of homes in Lincolnshire also score 5.
Its CQC rating, from September 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from January 2019. The typical rating in Lincolnshire is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. CQC found some shortfalls in “consent to care and treatment”, one of 4 standards out of 33 scored below good.
