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. ?
Run by Harbour Healthcare Ltd, Oak Lodge is a nursing home in Chard, Somerset with 47 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people and people with dementia. That is larger than most homes in Somerset, where the typical home has 25 beds.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in March 2026. 94% of homes in Somerset also score 5. 124 other homes in Somerset share its tier, “Good”. Of the 4 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. It is one of 12 homes run by Harbour Healthcare Ltd. 7 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
Its CQC rating, from September 2022, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in March 2019, was the same.
