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. ?
Chard Manor is one of 194 care homes in Somerset: a 10-bed residential care home in Chard, run by Voyage 1 Limited. CQC registers it to look after younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Somerset has 25 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In July 2023, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its previous rating, in April 2019, was Outstanding, so the home has slipped.
Voyage 1 Limited runs 241 care homes, and 217 of the 238 rated are Good or Outstanding. None of the 4 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in April 2026. That is true of 94% of homes in Somerset. Across Somerset, 89% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
