About Grindon

Grindon is a residential care home in Cullompton. We support adults, including younger adults and people whose sight or hearing is impaired, in a small setting that is meant to feel like a household rather than a facility. Support is arranged around each person and agreed with them. That may be help with personal care and daily routines, practical assistance with cooking, shopping and managing a room, or simply having dependable people nearby while somebody gets on with their own interests and relationships. Where sight or hearing is impaired, the details decide everything. Belongings stay exactly where people expect to find them. We say who we are and what we are about to do before we do it. We sit face on, speak clearly rather than loudly and check that we have been understood rather than assuming. None of it is complicated, but it has to be consistent, and consistency is something we work at. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places, which can give a family carer a planned break and let somebody get to know us gradually. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. Families across Devon are welcome to visit and see the house for themselves. Please contact us to arrange a time.
