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. ?
Linkage Community Trust runs Dunsford, a residential care home in Spilsby, Lincolnshire with room for 10 residents. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Lincolnshire has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In May 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in July 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 36% of ratings in Lincolnshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. It is one of 20 homes run by Linkage Community Trust. 19 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. In Lincolnshire, 76% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
