About Summerhayes Care Home

Summerhayes Care Home is a care home in Crediton, Devon. We provide residential care for older people, including people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Supporting somebody whose sight or hearing has gone is a practical business. It means describing what is happening rather than assuming it is obvious, keeping furniture and belongings where the person expects them, making sure they know who has just walked into the room, and never letting a sensory impairment turn into isolation because conversation has become too much effort for everybody else. The same practical attitude runs through the rest of what we do. People here decide when to get up, how to spend the day and how much company they want. Rooms belong to the people in them. Visitors come when it suits them, not when a rota allows. Where somebody has a physical disability, we try to notice when life is quietly narrowing in the name of safety, because that is not good care however tidy the records look. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and see the home if you are considering care locally.
