A Holbeach care home is celebrating being rated as ‘outstanding’ in its first inspection.
Holbeach Meadows, which was opened in 2022, was given the rating in the categories of effective, caring and well-led and rated good for being safe and responsive.
The CQC praised the home for its exceptional leadership, compassionate culture, and person-centred approach that empowers residents to live with dignity, choice, and independence.
Inspectors described the home as “a vibrant, nurturing place where people can truly thrive,” highlighting that people’s experiences of the home were “overwhelmingly positive” and residents felt “safe, respected, and genuinely cared for.”
The report also highlighted that the home “demonstrated a strong commitment to listening, responding and continuously improving.”
Home manager Gemma Woodcock said she was “over the moon” with the result.
She added, “We are absolutely thrilled to have achieved an Outstanding rating — especially at our very first inspection. This recognition is a reflection of the passion, dedication, and teamwork that goes into everything we do here.
“Our goal has always been to create a home where people can live with dignity, independence, and joy — and where families feel truly part of our community.”
