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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Mere Lodge Healthcare Limited runs Spinney Lodge, a residential care home in Leicester with room for 4 residents. It is registered to care for younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. That is smaller than most homes in Leicester, where the typical home has 25 beds.
