Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 31 good, 2 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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Wyndham House is one of 194 care homes in Somerset: a 50-bed residential care home in Minehead, run by Somerset Care Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and younger adults. Most homes in Somerset are smaller: the median there is 25 beds.
The current CQC rating is Requires improvement, published in January 2025. It was Requires improvement for safe and well-led as well. For effective, caring and responsive, the rating was Good. Its previous rating, in June 2018, was Good, so the home has slipped. That is more recent than most ratings in Somerset, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. CQC found significant shortfalls in “safe and effective staffing”, one of 2 standards out of 33 scored below good.
20 of Somerset Care Limited’s 21 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). About 0.3 km away, Tidings is rated Good. CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in April 2025. That is true of 94% of homes in Somerset. Across Somerset, 89% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
