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. ?
Halcon House is one of 194 care homes in Somerset: a 20-bed residential care home in Taunton, run by Somerset Care Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment.
The current CQC rating is Outstanding, published in March 2020. It was Outstanding for caring, responsive and well-led as well. For safe and effective, the rating was Good. Its rating before that, in July 2017, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Somerset, 31% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
Across Somerset, 89% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. None of the 6 nearest homes is rated Outstanding. Somerset Care Limited runs 21 care homes, and 20 of the 21 rated are Good or Outstanding.
