Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 32 good, 1 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
New Treetops is a 6-bed residential care home in Exeter, Devon, run by Devon County Council. It is registered to care for people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Devon, where the median is 25 beds.
In July 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in May 2018, was the same. The typical rating in Devon is about 5 years old, so this one is fairly recent. 1 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “safe environments”.
5 of Devon County Council’s 5 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). About 0.8 km away, The Lodge is rated Outstanding. In Devon, 90% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in March 2025. That is true of 86% of homes in Devon.
