The home changed owner in July 2025. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Furzeham Lodge Care Home is an independent 22-bed residential care home in Brixham, Torbay, registered with CQC under its own name. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and people with a physical disability.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in September 2020. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its previous rating, in April 2019, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 27% of homes in Torbay. Here is how rating age varies by council.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. The home changed owner in July 2025. Across Torbay, 80% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in June 2026. That is true of 83% of homes in Torbay.
