Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 30 good, 1 exceptional, 2 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. ?
Red Gables is one of 194 care homes in Somerset: a 11-bed residential care home in Burnham On Sea, run by Voyage 1 Limited. CQC registers it to look after younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Somerset, where the typical home has 25 beds.
217 of Voyage 1 Limited’s 238 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 124 other homes in Somerset share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2021. 94% of homes in Somerset also score 5.
Its CQC rating, from January 2025, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Before that, in June 2021, it was rated Requires improvement. Ratings in Somerset are typically about 4 years old, which makes this one newer than most. CQC found some shortfalls in “involving people to manage risks”, one of 2 standards out of 33 scored below good.
