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. ?
Run by Easy Living Care Limited, Margaret Allen is a residential care home in Tiverton, Devon with 15 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs, people with a sensory impairment and people with an eating disorder. That is smaller than most homes in Devon, where the typical home has 25 beds.
In September 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. 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.
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from October 2025. That is true of 86% of homes in Devon. In Devon, 90% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). It is one of 2 homes run by Easy Living Care Limited. 2 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
