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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Harleston House is one of 182 care homes in Suffolk: a 39-bed residential care home in Lowestoft, run by Greensleeves Homes Trust. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and people with a physical disability.
The current CQC rating is Outstanding, published in January 2019. It was Outstanding for caring, responsive and well-led as well. For safe and effective, the rating was Good. Before that, in June 2016, it was rated Good. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 32% of ratings in Suffolk are as old (how rating age varies by council).
Across Suffolk, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in May 2025. That is true of 92% of homes in Suffolk.

It is one of 26 homes run by Greensleeves Homes Trust. 18 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
