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 Gardens Residential Home is in the Good tier ?, with 147 other homes in Lincolnshire.
76% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).
The Gardens Residential Home is one of 279 care homes in Lincolnshire: a 47-bed residential care home in Boston, run by HC-One No.3 Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people and people with dementia. That is larger than most homes in Lincolnshire, where the typical home has 30 beds.
In March 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in March 2019, it was rated Requires improvement. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Lincolnshire, 36% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
It is one of 4 homes run by HC-One No.3 Limited. 4 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 4 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in August 2026. That is true of 95% of homes in Lincolnshire. 147 other homes in Lincolnshire share its tier, “Good”.
