Homecare Lincoln

Homecare Lincoln is a home care agency based in Lincoln, in the Lincolnshire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Lincoln office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of LJM Homecare, which has 2 branches in England. The agency has been registered since January 2017.

At its latest inspection, published February 2020, the CQC rated Homecare Lincoln Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
