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. ?
St Benedicts Ferndale House is one of 456 care homes in Hampshire: a 18-bed nursing home in Gosport, run by St Benedict's Healthcare Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with mental health needs.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in February 2025. 84% of homes in Hampshire also score 5. Across Hampshire, 85% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
In March 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its previous rating, in June 2018, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 46% of ratings in Hampshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
