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. ?
National Autistic Society (The) runs Kingsley House, a residential care home in Bideford, Devon with room for 8 residents. CQC registers it to look after younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Devon, where the typical home has 25 beds.
11 of National Autistic Society (The)’s 16 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in September 2023. 86% of homes in Devon also score 5. 188 other homes in Devon share its tier, “Good”.
In January 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in June 2017, was the same. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 51% of ratings in Devon are as old (how rating age varies by council).
