Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 28 good, 5 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. ?
Dimensions Somerset Newholme is one of 194 care homes in Somerset: a 8-bed residential care home in Taunton, run by Dimensions Somerset Sev Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Somerset, where the median is 25 beds.
Its CQC rating, from May 2024, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in December 2022, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. CQC found some shortfalls in “workforce wellbeing and enablement”, one of 5 standards out of 33 scored below good.
