Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 29 good, 4 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. ?
Frome Care Village is a 60-bed nursing home in Frome, Somerset. The home is its own registered provider. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with mental health needs. That is larger than most homes in Somerset, where the typical home has 25 beds.
In January 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That is up from Requires improvement in September 2023. The typical rating in Somerset is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 4 fell below good. The lowest was “assessing needs” (some shortfalls).
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. In Somerset, 89% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2026. That is true of 94% of homes in Somerset.
