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. ?
Colten Care (1993) Limited runs Brook View, a nursing home in Ferndown, Dorset with room for 56 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people and younger adults. Most homes in Dorset are smaller: the median there is 31 beds.
Its CQC rating, from April 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from August 2016. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 26% of homes in Dorset. Here is how rating age varies by council.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 7 of Colten Care (1993) Limited’s 7 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Across Dorset, 94% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2026. That is true of 100% of homes in Dorset.
