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. ?
Wellesley is a 12-bed residential care home in Barnstaple, Devon, run by N and L McCowen-Smith. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Devon, where the median is 25 beds.
In April 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in September 2016, was the same. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 51% of homes in Devon. Here is how rating age varies by council.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from January 2010. That is true of 86% of homes in Devon. Across Devon, 90% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
