About care homes in Boston

Care quality in Boston is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which inspects every care home and publishes a rating. Across the rated homes here, about 84% are rated Good or Outstanding (16 rated Good, 3 that Requires improvement). We show each home's current CQC rating and link to its full inspection report, so you can read the regulator's findings before you enquire.

The type of care a home is registered to provide matters as much as its rating. In Boston, 18 are registered for dementia care, 7 for nursing care, 3 for learning disability and autism support, 8 for mental health needs. Many homes are registered for more than one type of care, so a dementia care home in Boston may also offer residential or nursing care. Use the care-type links above to compare homes registered for a specific need.

Care homes in Boston are run by a mix of national groups, regional operators and independent owners. The larger providers locally include HC-One No.3 Limited (2 homes).

Care home fees in Boston depend on the type of care and how the place is funded. As a guide, self-funded residential care in the East Midlands typically runs to several hundred pounds a week, with nursing and specialist dementia care costing more. If the person needing care has limited savings, the local authority in Lincolnshire may contribute, and the NHS funds the healthcare element of nursing care through NHS-funded nursing care or, for the highest needs, NHS Continuing Healthcare. Fees are not held in the CQC record, so confirm the current weekly fee directly with each Boston home.
