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 May 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. ?
Gwendoline House is one of 79 care homes in South Gloucestershire: a 16-bed residential care home in Bristol, run by Dorchester Care Homes Ltd. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Dorchester Care Homes Ltd has run the home since May 2024, when it changed owner. 53 other homes in South Gloucestershire share its tier, “Good”.
In April 2023, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its rating before that, in February 2019, was the same.
