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. ?
Gorselands in the Forest Limited runs Gorselands Nursing Home, a nursing home in Ringwood, Hampshire with room for 39 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. Most homes in Hampshire are smaller: the median there is 25 beds.
Its CQC rating, from April 2021, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That is up from Requires improvement in November 2019. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Hampshire, 46% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. In Hampshire, 85% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 4 out of 5 in July 2026. 84% of homes in Hampshire score the top mark of 5.
