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. ?
Acorn Manor is a 9-bed residential care home in Bideford, Devon, run by Ark Care Homes Limited. It is registered to care for younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Devon has 25 beds, so this one is on the small side.
It is one of 4 homes run by Ark Care Homes Limited. 4 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in November 2025. 86% of homes in Devon also score 5. 188 other homes in Devon share its tier, “Good”.
In April 2023, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in April 2018, was the same.
