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. ?
Beacon House is a 34-bed residential care home in Dartmouth, Devon, run by Thurlestone Court Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs.
3 of Thurlestone Court Limited’s 3 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 188 other homes in Devon share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in August 2025. 86% of homes in Devon also score 5.
In July 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in November 2016. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 51% of homes in Devon. Here is how rating age varies by council.
