Does Dove Court have views over the coast and countryside?

How much does Dove Court Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Dove Court Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Devon council paid on average £1,043 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
