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. ?
Run by Mrs Eileen Edith Alicia Brandi, Widecombe House is a residential care home in Torquay, Torbay with 18 registered beds. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with mental health needs.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in February 2025. 83% of homes in Torbay also score 5. 45 other homes in Torbay share its tier, “Good”.
In April 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from August 2017. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Torbay, 27% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
