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. ?
Palm Court Care (Dawlish) Limited runs Palm Court Nursing Home, a nursing home in Dawlish, Devon with room for 39 residents.
