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. ?
Kirkley Manor is a 71-bed nursing home in Lowestoft, Suffolk, run by Kingsley Care Homes Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability. Most homes in Suffolk are smaller: the median there is 36 beds.
Its CQC rating, from September 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in September 2015, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Suffolk, 32% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 6 of Kingsley Care Homes Limited’s 8 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). 91 other homes in Suffolk share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in January 2025. That is true of 92% of homes in Suffolk.
