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. ?
The home changed owner in June 2024. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Run by Forward Support Care Ltd, Catherine House is a residential care home in Taunton, Somerset with 5 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Somerset has 25 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Its CQC rating, from May 2022, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its rating before that, in September 2018, was the same.
The nearest home with a higher rating is Halcon House (Outstanding), 0.0 km away. The home changed owner in June 2024. 124 other homes in Somerset share its tier, “Good”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from February 2023. That is true of 94% of homes in Somerset.
