Care at The Lodges · Carelodges Group Limited · three care homes, south-west London
Three homes, three different positions on the register.
Acorn Lodge, Cherry Lodge and Beech Lodge all transferred to Carelodges Group Limited on 15 June 2023. Two have been assessed since, and both read Good on all five key questions — Cherry Lodge having come back from Requires improvement. The third has not been assessed under this provider at all: the Good showing on Beech Lodge's page is inherited from the previous provider's 2021 report, and CQC flags it as such. Same group, same registered manager, three very different starting points for whatever comes next.
The 30-second read
The record
Acorn Lodge and Cherry Lodge both hold Good on safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led — published March and April 2025, no breaches, no enforcement on either.
The recovery
Cherry Lodge was rated Requires improvement on safe and well-led in November 2022 under the previous provider. In April 2025 it came back Good on all five. That is the hardest thing on this page to do, and it has already been done once.
The gap
Beech Lodge has never been assessed under Carelodges Group. Its visible Good dates to 2 April 2021 and belongs to the archived profile of Mr & Mrs Y Jeetoo. When CQC does assess it, none of Acorn's or Cherry's record transfers.
The 30 minutes
What Cherry Lodge did to move safe and well-led back to Good, written down as a standard the other two can be held to — and what Beech Lodge would need on the day of a first assessment.
Cherry Lodge, November 2022 to April 2025. Safe and well-led both moved from Requires improvement to Good. Whatever changed there is the group's most valuable evidence — if it exists as a written standard rather than as one team's habits.
The blind spot
1,077 homes
Care homes in England displaying a rating inherited from a previous provider, with no assessment under the current one. Beech Lodge is one of them. To a family reading the page it looks like a current Good; on CQC's own record it is untested.
The bar today
36.7%
Of 3,924 care homes rated since January 2024, more than a third came out below Good. Safe (1,455) and well-led (1,568) are where it goes wrong — the same two questions Cherry Lodge had to recover.
The three homes, side by side
Live CQC verify · 14 Aug 2026
All three registered to Carelodges Group Limited on 15 June 2023, all with Alfred Tagoe as registered manager and Karim Jeetoo as nominated individual. What differs is what CQC has published since.

The archived profiles under the previous provider, Mr & Mrs Y Jeetoo: Cherry Lodge Requires improvement (30 Nov 2022), Acorn Lodge Good (12 Aug 2022), Beech Lodge Good (2 Apr 2021).
Beech Lodge's page carries two messages at once. The rating panel says Good. Directly above it, CQC says “We have not inspected this service yet” and links the Good to an archived profile belonging to a provider that no longer runs the home. Both statements are correct. The practical consequence is simple: on the day CQC assesses Beech Lodge, the assessment starts from nothing, and two Goods elsewhere in the group carry no weight on that page.

Where this sits nationally
Cohort: 14,932 care homes
Two Goods on all five, no breaches anywhere, and a recovery from Requires improvement is a better record than most. The distribution below is what the next assessment is judged against.
Good or Outstanding (since 2024)
63.3%
Below Good
36.7%
n = 3,924 care homes with a rating published since January 2024. Below-Good outcomes concentrate in safe (1,455) and well-led (1,568) — the two questions Cherry Lodge recovered.
Of 14,932 care homes, 2,278 have never been assessed and 1,077 show a rating inherited from a previous provider. Beech Lodge sits in the second group, which is the quieter of the two: nothing on the page signals a gap, so it rarely gets prepared for. A first assessment under a new provider is treated as a first assessment, whatever the archived profile says.
What changes before the next assessment
Adult social care · draft framework
The key lines of enquiry that shaped every judgement on this page are being replaced. CQC is moving to sector-specific frameworks judged on written descriptors instead of added-up scores, live from the end of 2026 with pilots running now. The five key questions stay; what counts as evidence for them does not.
2 APR 2021
Beech Lodge rated Good under Mr & Mrs Y Jeetoo — the rating still displayed today.
30 NOV 2022
Cherry Lodge rated Requires improvement on safe and well-led, also under the previous provider.
15 JUN 2023
All three homes register to Carelodges Group Limited. Each record starts again from this date.
MAR–APR 2025
Acorn Lodge and Cherry Lodge assessed under the new provider — Good on all five, no breaches. Beech Lodge is not assessed.
NOW · AUG 2026
Two current Goods, one untested home, and a framework that changes what evidence has to look like at the end of this year.
Show the six framework shifts
SHIFT 01
Outcomes over process
The question moves from “is there a policy” to “what changed for the person”. Care plans have to show the outcome, not just the intention.
SHIFT 02
Continuous monitoring
Evidence is expected to be current between visits rather than assembled for one. For a home with no assessment on its record, that is the whole preparation.
SHIFT 03
Workforce inside well-led
Training currency, supervision, induction and retention become leadership evidence — including for agency and bank staff covering across homes.
SHIFT 04
Restrictive practice under scrutiny
For learning disability and mental health services, least-restrictive decisions, capacity records and DoLS have to be traceable person by person.
SHIFT 05
Descriptors replace KLOE scoring
Sector-specific lines of enquiry with a written descriptor per grade. The numerical scoring approach is dropped, so the shape of the evidence changes even where the practice does not.
SHIFT 06
Piloted now, live from end-2026
Pilots run alongside existing assessments and carry no regulatory weight, but they are shaping the final wording as it is written.
What this analysis can't see
The reason for the conversation
Everything above comes from the public register, which shows the verdict and nothing behind it. For homes supporting people with learning disabilities and mental health conditions, the evidence that decides an assessment is the part the register never publishes: how support plans record what the person wanted and what actually changed, how incidents are analysed and whether the actions close, capacity and best-interest decisions recorded person by person, DoLS applications and their status, restrictive practice reviewed and reduced rather than repeated, medicines and covert administration, safeguarding referrals and outcomes, and training currency across permanent, bank and agency staff. Cherry Lodge already produced a version of that good enough to move safe and well-led back to Good. The question worth thirty minutes is whether the same evidence exists, in the same shape, at Beech Lodge — where there is no previous assessment to build on.

Two Goods to protect, one home to prove
GreenM are healthcare data and AI specialists. We connect the evidence a home already produces — support plans and outcomes, incidents and their actions, medicines, safeguarding, capacity and DoLS, training and supervision — so it reads cleanly against the new descriptors, continuously rather than assembled in the fortnight after CQC calls. For a group with two current Goods and one home that has never been assessed, that turns the next assessment from an unknown into a rehearsal. In thirty minutes you'll leave with your top readiness gaps and the first action on each.
