About St George's House

St George's House is a 19-bed residential care home located on Park Road in Tiverton, Devon. The home is operated by Sussex Care Limited and provides care for older people. As a smaller care setting, it serves the local community in this market town in the South West.

The home was last inspected by the Care Quality Commission on 11 August 2023, when it received a rating of Requires Improvement. This rating means the service did not meet all standards expected at that time, though specific details of the inspection findings are available on the CQC website.

St George's House offers residential care rather than nursing provision, making it suitable for older people who need personal care support and accommodation but do not require on-site nursing staff.
