About Amelia House Residential Home

Amelia House is a small residential home located in Pocombe Bridge, near Exeter in Devon.

This mixed-needs approach allows the home to support people at different life stages with varied care requirements under one setting.

The home received a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission following its most recent inspection in April 2023. As a residential care service rather than nursing-led, it focuses on personal care and daily living support.
