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. ?
Wemyss Lodge is a 60-bed nursing home in Swindon. The home is its own registered provider. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people detained under the Mental Health Act. Most homes in Swindon are smaller: the median there is 14 beds.
Its CQC rating, from January 2025, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in November 2021.
In Swindon, 89% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in August 2025. That is true of 92% of homes in Swindon. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
