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. ?
Prime Life Limited runs Tamar House, a residential care home in Lincoln, Lincolnshire with room for 13 residents. CQC registers it to look after younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Lincolnshire has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in August 2025. 95% of homes in Lincolnshire also score 5. In Lincolnshire, 76% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). 43 of Prime Life Limited’s 53 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from February 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in August 2016, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Lincolnshire, 36% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
