Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 3 good, 30 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. ?
Seaview Haven is a 72-bed residential care home in Ilfracombe, Devon, run by H&H Care Services Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. That is larger than most homes in Devon, where the typical home has 25 beds.
In November 2025, CQC gave it Requires improvement overall, and Requires improvement for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in January 2022, it was rated Good. That is more recent than most ratings in Devon, where the typical rating is about 5 years old. 30 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “delivering evidence-based care and treatment”.
CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. 27 other homes in Devon share its tier, “Requires improvement”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in February 2026. That is true of 86% of homes in Devon. About 0.1 km away, Hilldales Residential Care Home is rated Good.
