CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Amesbury Abbey Care Home is a 40-bed nursing home in Salisbury, Wiltshire. The home is its own registered provider. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Wiltshire has 21 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
It is one of 2 homes run by Amesbury Abbey Limited. 2 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. In Wiltshire, 90% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from July 2025. 89% of homes in Wiltshire also score 5.
In September 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That is up from Requires improvement in June 2019. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Wiltshire, 40% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
