About Belvedere

Belvedere is a residential care home in Devon, supporting people with severe and enduring mental health conditions. The findings below set out the CQC's most recent assessment of the service.

Belvedere provides accommodation and support for a maximum of four people experiencing severe and enduring mental health conditions. It is part of a group of homes owned by The Community of St Antony and St Elias, where homes function as a community with shared group activities and management meetings.

People living at the home feel safe and happy, and staff demonstrate strong safeguarding awareness with appropriate training in recognising signs of abuse or harm. Complex care needs are thoroughly assessed and staff receive clear guidance on safe support. Medicines are managed safely by trained and competent staff, and the home maintains adequate staffing levels to meet people's individual needs.

The home delivers care that is safe, effective, and responsive to residents' requirements.
