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. ?
GCH (South) Ltd runs Baugh House Care Centre, a nursing home in Sidcup, Bexley with room for 60 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and younger adults. The typical home in Bexley has 39 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in September 2026. 95% of homes in Bexley also score 5. Across Bexley, 75% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. It is one of 6 homes run by GCH (South) Ltd. 4 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
In June 2021, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its previous rating, in July 2019, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 43% of ratings in Bexley are as old (how rating age varies by council).
