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. ?
Dovercourt Healthcare Limited runs Lime Court Care Home, a residential care home in Dovercourt, Essex with room for 44 residents. It is registered to care for older people and people with dementia. That is larger than most homes in Essex, where the typical home has 22 beds.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 237 other homes in Essex share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in January 2026. 89% of homes in Essex also score 5.
Its CQC rating, from December 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from May 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 48% of ratings in Essex are as old (how rating age varies by council).
