How the inspectors rated it

Requires improvement

The Care Quality Commission rated Lyndon Croft Requires improvement when it last published an assessment, in December 2024.

Inspected within the last two yearsThe national middle is 4.3 years. How we measure this.

This one is recent — 1.7 years old, so it is a fair picture of the home as it is now. Still worth asking whether the manager has changed since.

What the same operator runs elsewhere

Prime Life Limited runs 10 care homes for older people in England. Of the 10 carrying a published CQC rating, 8 are rated Good or Outstanding, 2 require improvement.

A pattern across an operator’s homes tells you something a single inspection cannot. It is a fair question to put to the manager: what has changed across the group since those inspections?

Published fees go stale within months. Tell us what care is needed and we will ask Lyndon Croft directly, then send you the reply. We are paid nothing if you move in, so we have no reason to push you here or anywhere else.

Ask about fees

Would the council pay towards this?

Whether you pay all of it, some of it or none of it turns on savings, income and whether a property would be left empty. Our calculator applies the 2026/27 means test and tells you the weekly figure. See also how council funding works and what happens when the money runs out.
