Questions about care in Devon
How many care homes are there in Devon?
There are 243 care homes in Devon registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the regulator of adult social care in England. Between them they have 5,558 beds.
How are care homes in Devon rated?
206 of the 229 with an overall rating from CQC (90%) are rated Good or Outstanding. 14 have no overall rating shown, usually because CQC has not rated them yet or rates the parts of the service separately. CQC data as at 13 October 2026. In England, CQC gives each service an overall rating: Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement or Inadequate, and a rating for each of five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. We show each rating as CQC publishes it and never turn it into a score of our own.
How do I choose a care home in Devon?
Start with the help the person needs now and might need later, and shortlist a few services near the people who will visit. Check each one’s latest CQC rating and how old it is, read its latest inspection report, and where you can, visit or meet the team more than once before you decide. Ask what is included in the fees and what happens if needs change. This is general information, not advice.
Who pays for care in Devon?
It depends on the person’s needs and finances. Some people pay for all of their own care, some get help from their council, and the NHS pays for some health care. The first step is to ask your local council for a free assessment of care needs: that is the council’s adult social care team. We do not show prices and this is general information, not advice.
How up to date is this information?
This page uses CQC data as at 13 October 2026. We check for new data from the regulator every day, and each service page shows the date of the data it uses.
Choosing care homes
A care home is a place to live where staff help with things like washing, dressing, eating and taking medicines, day and night. Care homes without nursing do not have a nurse on duty.
Things to check
- Visit more than once, at different times of day, and ask to see where meals are served.
- Ask how many staff are on duty at night, and how often agency staff are used.
- Ask what is included in the weekly fee and what costs extra, and how often fees can change.
- Read the latest CQC report, not only the rating, and ask the manager about anything it raises.
Whoever ends up paying, you can ask your council’s adult social care team for a free assessment of what help you need. Our guide explains what to expect and what to ask.
