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. ?
GCH (St Katharine's) Limited runs St Katharine's House, a nursing home in Wantage, Oxfordshire with room for 84 residents. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and younger adults. Most homes in Oxfordshire are smaller: the median there is 48 beds.
In March 2023, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That is up from Requires improvement in July 2019. The typical rating in Oxfordshire is about 6 years old, so this one is fairly recent.
None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in February 2026. That is true of 88% of homes in Oxfordshire. In Oxfordshire, 88% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
