Residents of a well-known Devon care home are being moved out amid concerns over the quality of care provided.
Angela Court Nursing and residential home at Tipton St John, near Exeter, has been the subject of a multi agency safeguarding process since early December
A spokesman on behalf of NEW Devon CCG (Northern, Eastern and Western Devon Clinical
Commissioning Group), and Devon County Council, said the "safeguarding" followed concerns from the county council, NEW Devon CCG and the Care Quality Commission, regarding the quality of care being provided there.
The spokesman said: "As a result of the process it has been agreed that the residents' needs will be better and more safely met by alternative care providers.
"We are working with residents, their families or representatives, to help them find suitable alternative accommodation that meets their individual care needs and preferences.
"The owners of Angela Court Nursing and Residential home have since informed us of their intention to refurbish and redesign the service."
The home is registered for 37 beds and provides nursing and dementia care.
It is owned by PSP Healthcare whose chairman is Prakash Dewani, the father of Shrien Dewani who was cleared of plotting his wife Anni Dewani's murder on their honeymoon in South Africa four years ago.
Prakash Dewani, said he had received messages of comfort from people in Sidmouth following the shooting of Anni.
They were four days into their honeymoon when the incident occurred
