Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 25 good, 8 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. ?
Latimer Court is one of 171 care homes in Worcestershire: a 80-bed nursing home in Worcester, run by Barchester Healthcare Homes 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 typical home in Worcestershire has 35 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
175 of Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited’s 198 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Perry Manor, 0.8 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. In Worcestershire, 85% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from September 2026. 92% of homes in Worcestershire also score 5.
In October 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in October 2022, was the same. Ratings in Worcestershire are typically about 4 years old, which makes this one newer than most. CQC found some shortfalls in “workforce wellbeing and enablement”, one of 8 standards out of 33 scored below good.
