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. ?
Linkage Community Trust runs Oak Lodge, a residential care home in Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire with room for 9 residents. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Lincolnshire, where the typical home has 30 beds.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. It is one of 20 homes run by Linkage Community Trust. 19 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Across Lincolnshire, 76% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2025. 95% of homes in Lincolnshire also score 5.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in November 2023. That matches its previous rating, from September 2018.
