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 SL & BM Haywood, Bidna House is a residential care home in Bideford, Devon with 12 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. That is smaller than most homes in Devon, where the typical home has 25 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in January 2019. Its rating before that, in June 2016, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Devon, 51% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in November 2025. That is true of 86% of homes in Devon. In Devon, 90% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
