STAGE 4 — RESEARCHING CARE HOMES
Visit homes. Compare them side by side. Choose with confidence.
Most of us will view care homes the way we view houses, impression, atmosphere, the feeling in the corridor. We go home, try to remember what we saw, and make a permanent decision from a blurred memory.
The DCC shortlist gives every home you visit a structured record: the same twelve questions, answered the same way, every time. When you’re ready to choose, pull any two homes side by side and compare them directly. Same criteria, same evidence, your notes and your scores.

Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Good at the October 2023 inspection. This covers whether staff have the right training, whether care plans are detailed and kept up to date, whether your parent's health needs are monitored, and whether food and nutrition are well managed. The home lists dementia and learning disabilities among its specialisms, which suggests staff are expected to have relevant training in these areas. No specific detail about training content, care plan review frequency, GP access, or food quality is included in the published report.Is this home caring?
The Caring domain was rated Good at the October 2023 inspection. This covers whether staff treat the people who live here with warmth, respect, and dignity. A Good rating in this area means inspectors were satisfied with the overall culture of care. The home supports adults of varying ages and with a range of conditions, which requires staff to adapt their approach to each individual. No direct quotes from residents or relatives are included in the published report, and no specific inspector observations of staff interactions are recorded.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Good at the October 2023 inspection. This covers whether the home tailors its care to individual needs, whether there is a meaningful activity programme, whether people can maintain their independence, and whether end-of-life care is planned. The home's range of specialisms suggests it supports people with quite different needs and abilities. No detail about the activity programme, one-to-one engagement, or end-of-life planning is included in the published report.Is the home well-led?
The Well-led domain was rated Good at the October 2023 inspection. The home is run by Asher Care Ltd, with Mrs Tracey Ann Mills named as Registered Manager and Mr Alistair Whitmoor-Pryer as Nominated Individual. A named, accountable manager is a positive structural indicator. No information is provided in the published report about how long the manager has been in post, how staff are supported to raise concerns, or how the home acts on feedback from residents and families.

What the evidence base says
The team here supports adults of all ages with dementia, learning disabilities, mental health conditions and physical disabilities.

The home accepts residents with different types and stages of dementia, providing appropriate support within their residential setting. All areas worth probing directly during a visit.
The DCC Verdict
Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.
DCC Family Score
Asher Care received a Good rating across all five inspection domains, which is a solid baseline. However, the published report provides very little specific detail, so scores reflect a confirmed Good with limited supporting evidence rather than strong, observed specifics.
Homes in South West typically score 68–82.Worth a visit
Asher Care, on Ashburton Road in Newton Abbot, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its most recent inspection in October 2023. The home provides residential care for up to 25 people and covers a broad range of needs including dementia, learning disabilities, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities. A clear management structure is in place, with a named Registered Manager and Nominated Individual identified in the report. The main limitation of this report is that the published text contains very little specific detail beyond the domain ratings themselves. There are no direct quotes from residents or relatives, no inspector observations of staff interactions, and no specific examples of care practice. A Good rating is meaningful and reassuring, but it tells you less than it should about day-to-day life for your parent. Before making a decision, visit in person, ask to see staffing rotas and activity records, and speak to the manager about how the home supports people with your parent's specific needs.
