Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 31 good, 2 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. ?
An independent residential care home in Peterborough, Lincolnshire, SENSE - 25 Horsegate is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 5 beds. Its CQC registration covers people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. That is smaller than most homes in Lincolnshire, where the typical home has 30 beds.
Sense runs 36 care homes, and 33 of the 36 rated are Good or Outstanding. About 0.9 km away, SENSE - 32a Broadgate Lane is rated Outstanding. 147 other homes in Lincolnshire share its tier, “Good”.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in July 2026. Its rating before that, in April 2018, was the same.
