Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 30 good, 3 exceptional. 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 Northmead House is in the Good tier ?, with 124 other homes in Somerset.
89% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).
Run by Dimensions Somerset Sev Limited, Dimensions Somerset Northmead House is a residential care home in Bridgwater, Somerset with 10 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Somerset, where the typical home has 25 beds.
In February 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from August 2018. That is more recent than most ratings in Somerset, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. 3 of the 33 standards CQC scored were exceptional, and none fell below good.
