Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 27 good, 2 exceptional, 4 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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
The Gables is a 61-bed residential care home in Stourbridge, Worcestershire, run by Hagley Care Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. That is larger than most homes in Worcestershire, where the typical home has 35 beds.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2025. 92% of homes in Worcestershire also score 5. In Worcestershire, 85% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now.
Its CQC rating, from February 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The typical rating in Worcestershire is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. CQC found some shortfalls in “delivering evidence-based care and treatment”, one of 4 standards out of 33 scored below good.
