Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 30 good, 3 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. ?
Run by Solor Care (South West) Ltd, Wey House Nursing Home is a nursing home in Taunton, Somerset with 31 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs, people with a sensory impairment and people who use drugs or alcohol.
Its CQC rating, from May 2025, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in August 2023, was the same. Ratings in Somerset are typically about 4 years old, which makes this one newer than most. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 3 fell below good. The lowest was “workforce wellbeing and enablement” (some shortfalls).
