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 Knowls is a 13-bed residential care home in Taunton, Somerset, run by Voyage 1 Limited. CQC registers it to look after younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Somerset, where the median is 25 beds.
Voyage 1 Limited runs 241 care homes, and 217 of the 238 rated are Good or Outstanding. About 1.1 km away, Wilton House is rated Outstanding. 124 other homes in Somerset share its tier, “Good”.
In December 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in May 2017, was the same. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 31% of ratings in Somerset are as old (how rating age varies by council).
