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. ?
Defence Business Services runs Ilford Park Polish Home, a nursing home in Newton Abbot, Devon with room for 95 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Devon has 25 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Across Devon, 90% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in September 2026. 86% of homes in Devon also score 5. Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from March 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in August 2016, was the same. 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.
