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 Gables Rest Home is a 30-bed residential care home in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, run by DKL Healthcare Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Across Worcestershire, 85% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in January 2026. 92% of homes in Worcestershire also score 5.
Its CQC rating, from May 2022, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in March 2019, was the same.
