About Jack Simpson House
At Jack Simpson House, we provide residential care for older adults in the heart of Exeter, Devon. We are proud to have received a "Good" rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the genuine effort our team puts in every single day to ensure the people in our care feel safe, comfortable and respected. We support a wide range of needs here, including dementia care, residential care for older people, and care for those living with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment. We also welcome younger adults who require care and support, and we offer respite care for those who need a short stay, whether to recover after a hospital admission or to give a family carer some time to rest. Our approach is straightforward. We take the time to get to know each person individually, understanding their history, their preferences and what matters most to them in daily life. Care is not one size fits all, and we do not treat it that way. Wherever possible, we involve residents and their families in decisions about their care, because we believe people should feel in control of their own lives regardless of where they live. The home has a warm and familiar atmosphere, and we work hard to make sure it genuinely feels like home rather than a clinical setting. Mealtimes, activities and daily routines are shaped around what residents enjoy, not around what is easiest for us to organise. If you are considering care for yourself or for a loved one, we would warmly encourage you to come and visit us. There is no better way to get a feel for who we are than to walk through the door and have a conversation with us in person. We are always happy to help.
