Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 16 good, 17 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. ?
Bronte is one of 306 care homes in Devon: a 20-bed residential care home in Exeter, run by Mr T & Mrs C Murphy. CQC registers it to look after older people and people with a physical disability.
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 4 (good), from January 2026. In Devon, 86% of homes score 5. Across Devon, 90% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Seabrook House Limited, 3.3 km away, is the closest home rated Good.
The current CQC rating is Requires improvement, published in May 2024. It was Requires improvement for effective and well-led as well. CQC rated safe, caring and responsive as Good. That matches its previous rating, from September 2021. Ratings in Devon are typically about 5 years old, which makes this one newer than most. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 17 fell below good. The lowest was “assessing needs” (some shortfalls).
