Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 30 good, 3 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. ?
Frenchay House is one of 79 care homes in South Gloucestershire: a 30-bed residential care home in Bristol, run by Ablecare Homes Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in February 2026. 86% of homes in South Gloucestershire also score 5. 53 other homes in South Gloucestershire share its tier, “Good”. The nearest home with a higher rating is The Manor Cottage (Outstanding), 0.3 km away. 6 of Ablecare Homes Limited’s 6 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
Its CQC rating, from April 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in July 2023. The typical rating in South Gloucestershire is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. 3 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “delivering evidence-based care and treatment”.
