Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 23 good, 3 exceptional, 7 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
21st Century Care (Plymouth) Limited runs Beaconville Nursing Home, a nursing home in Ivybridge, Devon with room for 36 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia and people with mental health needs.
Its CQC rating, from January 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in September 2018, was the same. Ratings in Devon are typically about 5 years old, which makes this one newer than most. 7 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “assessing needs”.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in January 2026. That is true of 86% of homes in Devon. Across Devon, 90% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
