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. ?
The home changed owner in March 2024. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Run by Paddington Care Ltd, Five Gables Care Home is a residential care home in Ferndown, Dorset with 13 registered beds. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. That is smaller than most homes in Dorset, where the typical home has 31 beds.
Its CQC rating, from February 2023, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in May 2018.
In Dorset, 94% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from October 2025. That is true of 100% of homes in Dorset. The home changed owner in March 2024. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
