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. ?
Lakenham Residential Care Home is one of 306 care homes in Devon: a 25-bed residential care home in Bideford, run by Mrs Murphy C Hampton and Ms C Hampton. It is registered to care for older people, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment.
Its kitchen was rated 4 for food hygiene in December 2025. In Devon, 86% of homes score 5. Across Devon, 90% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
