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. ?
Run by Somerset Care Limited, Field House is a residential care home in Shepton Mallet, Somerset with 39 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia and younger adults. That is larger than most homes in Somerset, where the typical home has 25 beds.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Somerset Care Limited runs 21 care homes, and 20 of the 21 rated are Good or Outstanding. 124 other homes in Somerset share its tier, “Good”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from June 2025. 94% of homes in Somerset also score 5.
In March 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in July 2017, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Somerset, 31% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
