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. ?
Buttercup House Care Home is a 28-bed residential care home in Southampton, run by Shivron Care Home Ltd. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Southampton has 18 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Its CQC rating, from January 2020, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in April 2017, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Southampton, 40% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Across Southampton, 85% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in January 2026. That is true of 88% of homes in Southampton.
