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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Goatacre Manor Care Centre is a 48-bed nursing home in Calne, Wiltshire. The home is its own registered provider. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia and people with a physical disability. The typical home in Wiltshire has 21 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2026. 89% of homes in Wiltshire also score 5. 104 other homes in Wiltshire share its tier, “Good”.
Its CQC rating, from May 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in April 2018, was the same. The typical rating in Wiltshire is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. 4 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “planning for the future”.
