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 The Northam Care Trust, Northam Lodge is a residential care home in Bideford, Devon with 25 registered beds. It is registered to care for younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment.
In April 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in January 2016, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Devon, 51% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from December 2025. That is true of 86% of homes in Devon. In Devon, 90% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
