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. ?
Torrwood Care Centre is one of 194 care homes in Somerset: a 82-bed nursing home in Wells, run by Methodist Homes. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and younger adults. The typical home in Somerset has 25 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
In September 2021, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in November 2019, it was rated Requires improvement. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Somerset, 31% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in December 2025. That is true of 94% of homes in Somerset. Across Somerset, 89% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Methodist Homes runs 69 care homes, and 60 of the 69 rated are Good or Outstanding.
