Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 19 good, 14 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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Ridge House Residential Care Home is in the Requires improvement tier ?, with 27 other homes in Devon.

What the data says about Ridge House Residential Care Home
Ridge House Residential Care Home is one of 306 care homes in Devon: a 15-bed residential care home in Crediton, run by Ridge House Residential Home Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people and people with a physical disability. That is smaller than most homes in Devon, where the typical home has 25 beds.
The current CQC rating is Requires improvement, published in July 2026. It was Requires improvement for safe, caring and well-led as well. CQC rated effective and responsive as Good. Its previous rating, in February 2020, was Good, so the home has slipped.
