Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 28 good, 2 exceptional, 3 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. ?
CCM NH Limited runs La Fontana, a nursing home in Martock, Somerset with room for 76 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people detained under the Mental Health Act. The typical home in Somerset has 25 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
In June 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in October 2022. Ratings in Somerset are typically about 4 years old, which makes this one newer than most. 3 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “independence, choice and control”.
CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. It is one of 11 homes run by CCM NH Limited. 10 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. In Somerset, 89% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from January 2025. That is true of 94% of homes in Somerset.
