Questions families ask
How many residents can Doveridge Care Home accommodate?
Doveridge is registered for 31 residents, and all rooms have private en-suite facilities.
Can residents bring their own furniture to Doveridge?
Yes. Furniture is available in each room, but residents can bring their own furniture if required.
How much does Doveridge Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Doveridge 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.
