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. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
An independent residential care home in Rushden, North Northamptonshire, K Lodge is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 40 beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. That is larger than most homes in North Northamptonshire, where the typical home has 24 beds.
In June 2022, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Before that, in September 2021, it was rated Requires improvement.
