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. ?
Avalon Nursing Home is one of 194 care homes in Somerset: a 55-bed nursing home in Bridgwater, run by Camelot Care (Somerset) Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. Most homes in Somerset are smaller: the median there is 25 beds.
It is one of 2 homes run by Camelot Care (Somerset) Limited. 2 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Across Somerset, 89% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from February 2026. 94% of homes in Somerset also score 5.
In September 2021, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in July 2019, it was rated Requires improvement. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 31% of homes in Somerset. Here is how rating age varies by council.
