Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 30 good, 3 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. ?
Windward House is a 42-bed residential care home in South Brent, Devon, run by Thurlestone Court Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Devon has 25 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 3 of Thurlestone Court Limited’s 3 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from July 2025. 86% of homes in Devon also score 5. In Devon, 90% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
In February 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from August 2019. That is more recent than most ratings in Devon, where the typical rating is about 5 years old. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 3 fell below good. The lowest was “workforce wellbeing and enablement” (some shortfalls).
