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. ?
Dene Court Care Home is an independent 28-bed residential care home in Exeter, Devon, registered with CQC under its own name. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment.
