Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 26 good, 7 exceptional. 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. ?
Run by Pickworths Residential Living Ltd, Skirbeck Lodge is a residential care home in Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire with 6 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is a small home for Lincolnshire, where the median is 30 beds.
147 other homes in Lincolnshire share its tier, “Good”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from January 2025. 95% of homes in Lincolnshire also score 5. It is one of 2 homes run by Pickworths Residential Living Ltd. 2 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In June 2025, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That is more recent than most ratings in Lincolnshire, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. 7 of the 33 standards CQC scored were exceptional, and none fell below good.
