Your needs assessment decides which service level applies; we last checked it on 11 August 2026. Devon does not state whether its nursing bands include NHS-funded nursing care, so treat the nursing figures with care and ask which basis a quote uses.

Buckland Care Limited runs 2 care homes for older people in England. Of the 2 carrying a published CQC rating, 1 are rated Good or Outstanding, 1 require improvement.
Every line comes from the CQC register, not from the home. If something is wrong, tell us and we will check it against the register.
Distances are straight-line from the registered address — useful for working out who could visit easily, which matters more than most things on this page.
The list above is by distance alone. This one keeps only homes whose rating is both good and recent — the two things a rating needs to be worth much.
Published fees go stale within months. Tell us what care is needed and we will ask Mulberry House directly, then send you the reply. We are paid nothing if you move in, so we have no reason to push you here or anywhere else.
Ask about feesWhether you pay all of it, some of it or none of it turns on savings, income and whether a property would be left empty. Our calculator applies the 2026/27 means test and tells you the weekly figure. See also how council funding works and what happens when the money runs out.
We publish prices and register data, not advice. For the decisions that follow, these are free and impartial.
