This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Run by Doveleigh Care Limited, Dove Lodge Care Home is a residential care home in Exmouth, Devon with 31 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after older people.
Its CQC rating, from August 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. That matches its previous rating, from March 2017. 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.
The home changed owner in February 2025. It is one of 4 homes run by Doveleigh Care Limited. 4 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Exmouth House, 0.7 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in March 2026. That is true of 86% of homes in Devon. 188 other homes in Devon share its tier, “Good”.
