What inspectors found

  • Is this home safe?

    Good
    Clevedon Court Nursing Home was rated Good for safety at its May 2023 inspection. The home is a nursing home, meaning qualified nurses are present to oversee clinical safety. Beyond the rating itself, the published report does not include specific detail about staffing levels, medicines management, falls recording, infection control practice, or agency staff usage. This is the area where the absence of published detail is most significant for families.

    Section 03

    What the evidence base says

    The home provides nursing care for people over and under 65, including those living with dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities and sensory impairments.

All areas worth probing directly during a visit.

The DCC Verdict

Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.

73/ 100

DCC Family Score

Clevedon Court Nursing Home received a Good rating across all five inspection domains in May 2023, which is a positive baseline. However, the published report contains very limited specific detail, observations, or direct testimony, so scores reflect confirmed ratings rather than rich supporting evidence.

Homes in South West typically score 68–82.

The three-lens summary

Lens 01

What families tell us

Families describe finding real comfort in how staff create meaningful connections with residents. Whether it's taking time for a proper chat on brighter days or simply sitting quietly when words aren't needed, there's a sense that everyone genuinely cares about the person behind the condition.

Lens 02

What inspectors have recorded

The whole team appears to work as one, from nurses through to laundry staff, all focused on what each resident needs. Families mention how quickly staff respond when help is needed, and there's flexibility around visiting that lets loved ones be there when it matters most.

Lens 03

How it sits against good practice

Sometimes what families need most is knowing their loved one will be treated with the same tenderness they'd give themselves.

DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Clevedon Court Nursing Home, on Dial Hill Road in Clevedon, received a Good rating across all five inspection domains at its inspection on 30 May 2023, with the report published in August 2023. The home is registered as a nursing home for up to 50 people, covering dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and sensory impairments. A named registered manager was in post at the time of the inspection. All five domains, Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-led, were rated Good, which is a meaningful baseline and better than a significant proportion of homes inspected nationally. The main limitation of this report is that the published text contains very little specific detail beyond the ratings themselves. There are no inspector observations of day-to-day care, no direct quotes from residents or relatives, and no specific examples of what the home does well or where it could improve. That means the Good ratings are confirmed but the evidence behind them is not available for you to scrutinise. Before making a decision, visit in person, ask to see last week's actual staffing rota (not a template), sit in at a mealtime, and ask the manager directly about dementia training, night staffing numbers, and how the home involves families in care planning. The questions in the checklist below are your starting point.

    The Thoughtful Gift That Makes a Difficult Day Easier
