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 home changed owner in September 2026. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
The Poplars is one of 279 care homes in Lincolnshire: a 51-bed residential care home in Market Rasen, run by Belmont Healthcare (Lincs) Ltd. 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.
Its CQC rating, from July 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its rating before that, in November 2016, was the same. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 36% of homes in Lincolnshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 5 of Belmont Healthcare (Lincs) Ltd’s 6 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in April 2025. That is true of 95% of homes in Lincolnshire. In Lincolnshire, 76% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The home changed owner in September 2026.
