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. ?
Run by Ark Care Homes Limited, Beachfield is a residential care home in Bideford, Devon with 6 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Devon, where the typical home has 25 beds.
Its CQC rating, from February 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from August 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 51% of ratings in Devon are as old (how rating age varies by council).
Ark Care Homes Limited runs 4 care homes, and all 4 rated are Good or Outstanding. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Across Devon, 90% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in December 2013. That is true of 86% of homes in Devon.
