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. ?
Shaftesbury Rest Home is a 17-bed residential care home in Southampton, run by Mr & Mrs R C Northover. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia and people with mental health needs.
Its CQC rating, from December 2017, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from September 2015. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 40% of homes in Southampton. Here is how rating age varies by council.
32 other homes in Southampton share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in January 2026. That is true of 88% of homes in Southampton. 2 of Mr & Mrs R C Northover’s 2 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
