Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 29 good, 4 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Care UK Community Partnerships Ltd runs Lonsdale Mews, a nursing home in Loughborough, Leicestershire with room for 64 residents. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability. Most homes in Leicestershire are smaller: the median there is 30 beds.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 97 of Care UK Community Partnerships Ltd’s 102 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in October 2024. 82% of homes in Leicestershire also score 5. Across Leicestershire, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
In February 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in October 2022, was the same. That is more recent than most ratings in Leicestershire, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 4 fell below good. The lowest was “person-centred care” (some shortfalls).
