Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 27 good, 3 exceptional, 3 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. ?
The Cedars is a 56-bed nursing home in Bourne, Lincolnshire, run by Cedars Health Care Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability. Most homes in Lincolnshire are smaller: the median there is 30 beds.
Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 147 other homes in Lincolnshire share its tier, “Good”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from January 2026. 95% of homes in Lincolnshire also score 5.
In May 2025, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in November 2017, was the same. That is more recent than most ratings in Lincolnshire, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. 3 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “workforce wellbeing and enablement”.
