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 registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2026. 100% of homes in Dorset also score 5. In Dorset, 94% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
