About Acorn Manor

Acorn Manor is a residential care home in Bideford supporting younger adults, including people who have a learning disability and people who are autistic. It is somebody's home before it is anything else, and we work to keep that order of priority clear. People have their own rooms arranged as they want them, they have a say in meals and in how the house runs, and support sits underneath ordinary life rather than replacing it. What we provide varies from person to person. Some need help with personal care, medication and daily routines. Some want practical support with cooking, budgeting, shopping and appointments. Some mainly want dependable people nearby while they get on with college, work, volunteering or seeing friends. For the autistic people we support, predictability carries a great deal of weight. We give notice before things change, we keep noise and busyness in shared areas manageable and we learn how each person prefers to be given information. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families across north Devon are welcome to visit.
