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. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
West Dean is a 16-bed residential care home in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, run by Achieve Together Limited. It is registered to care for younger adults and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Lincolnshire has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Its CQC rating, from January 2020, 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 June 2017, 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).
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from November 2025. That is true of 95% of homes in Lincolnshire. Across Lincolnshire, 76% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 115 of Achieve Together Limited’s 138 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
