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. ?
Dove Tree House is a 35-bed residential care home in Exeter, Devon, run by Stonehaven (Healthcare) Ltd. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and people with a physical disability.
Its CQC rating, from January 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from September 2016. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Devon, 51% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
