Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 13 good, 20 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Church View - Princess of Wales Community Hospital is in the Requires improvement tier ?, with 23 other homes in Worcestershire.
85% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).
Church View - Princess of Wales Community Hospital in brief
Church View - Princess of Wales Community Hospital is a 9-bed nursing home in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, run by Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Worcestershire has 35 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In July 2026, CQC gave it Requires improvement overall, and Requires improvement for each of the five key questions too.
