About this home

Belmont Villa Care Home is a CQC-registered nursing home in Frome, run by Belmont Villa Care Home Limited. Its CQC registration covers adults of all ages, including people living with dementia.

At its most recent rating, CQC judged it Good overall (September 2019). It is one of 9 CQC-registered care homes in and around Frome; 8 of those are rated Good or Outstanding.

The ratings in context

CQC rated every one of the five key questions Good here, so there is no weak spot in the published ratings.

History with CQC

Registered in January 2011, it has 15 years on the CQC register.

CQC has published 3 overall ratings for it (2015–2019), starting at Requires improvement and improving to Good.

No new overall rating has been published for 7 years. CQC re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating is not a bad sign in itself, but staff and management may have changed.

Budgeting for this home

We estimate Belmont Villa Care Home at £1,520–£1,860 a week for nursing care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £79k–£97k.

NHS-funded nursing care covers part of the nursing cost for eligible residents and is paid directly to the home.

With savings below £23,250, Somerset Council may contribute once it has carried out a free needs assessment.

  • People had several lounges they could choose from so they could invite relatives or sit in a quiet area with a book.
  • There were accessible garden areas with a safety surface that could reduce injury if a person fell.
  • People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
