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. ?
Ashcombe is one of 456 care homes in Hampshire: a 33-bed nursing home in Basingstoke, run by Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability.
Its CQC rating, from June 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in October 2016, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 46% of homes in Hampshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
