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. ?
The home changed owner in November 2024. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Whistley Dene is a 6-bed residential care home in Devizes, Wiltshire, run by Milestones Trust. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Wiltshire has 21 beds, so this one is on the small side.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in December 2018. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Before that, in October 2017, it was rated Requires improvement. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 40% of ratings in Wiltshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
The home changed owner in November 2024. Milestones Trust runs 34 care homes, and 32 of the 34 rated are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. In Wiltshire, 90% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
