Common questions

North Devon has Supported living options available. Retirement communities range from independent living apartments to assisted living villages with on-site care available if needed in the future.

Who oversees retirement living communities in North Devon?

Unlike care homes, retirement living developments in England are not regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
