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. ?
Laurel Care Home is a 60-bed nursing home in Southampton, Hampshire. The home is its own registered provider. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia and people with a physical disability. That is larger than most homes in Hampshire, where the typical home has 25 beds.
Its CQC rating, from May 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in September 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 46% of ratings in Hampshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from January 2026. That is true of 84% of homes in Hampshire. Across Hampshire, 85% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
