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. ?
OSJCT Bemerton Lodge is one of 157 care homes in Wiltshire: a 56-bed residential care home in Salisbury, run by The Orders Of St. John Care Trust. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and younger adults. That is larger than most homes in Wiltshire, where the typical home has 21 beds.
The Orders Of St. John Care Trust runs 49 care homes, and 44 of the 47 rated are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2025. 89% of homes in Wiltshire also score 5. Across Wiltshire, 90% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
In December 2021, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That is up from Requires improvement in September 2019.
