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. ?
The home changed owner in February 2026. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Run by Agincare (Somerset) Limited, Paternoster House is a nursing home in Cirencester, Gloucestershire with 40 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia and younger adults. The typical home in Gloucestershire has 25 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
It is one of 8 homes run by Agincare (Somerset) Limited. 6 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Agincare (Somerset) Limited has run the home since February 2026, when it changed owner. Across Gloucestershire, 87% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from March 2026. 91% of homes in Gloucestershire also score 5.
Its CQC rating, from December 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. That matches its previous rating, from July 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 49% of ratings in Gloucestershire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
