Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 33 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. ?
Sutton Lodge is one of 274 care homes in Nottinghamshire: a 42-bed residential care home in Sutton-In-Ashfield, run by Ashmere Nottinghamshire Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. Most homes in Nottinghamshire are smaller: the median there is 26 beds.
Its CQC rating, from August 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in October 2023, was the same. The typical rating in Nottinghamshire is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. All 33 standards CQC scored were good.
Across Nottinghamshire, 85% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in May 2026.
