Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 12 good, 21 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 Lodge is in the Requires improvement tier ?, with 25 other homes in North Yorkshire.
86% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).
Action for Care Limited runs The Lodge, a residential care home in Leeds, North Yorkshire with room for 8 residents. Its CQC registration covers younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for North Yorkshire, where the median is 29 beds.
CQC last rated the home in April 2026, giving it Requires improvement overall. Safe, effective, responsive and well-led were also Requires improvement. For caring, the rating was Good. Its previous rating, in April 2020, was Good, so the home has slipped. That is more recent than most ratings in North Yorkshire, where the typical rating is about 5 years old. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 21 fell below good. The lowest was “safeguarding” (significant shortfalls).
