About Parklands
We at Parklands are proud to offer a warm and welcoming residential care home in the heart of Exeter, providing compassionate support for older people across Devon and the wider South West. Nestled within the EX postcode area, our home offers a peaceful setting where residents can feel truly at ease. The surroundings of Exeter provide a comforting blend of city convenience and the gentle charm of Devon, giving families the reassurance of knowing their loved ones are cared for in familiar, community focused surroundings. Our specialisms reflect the diverse needs of the people who choose to live with us. We provide dedicated older person care and residential care as the foundation of everything we do, ensuring that daily life is comfortable, dignified, and filled with genuine warmth. For those living with dementia, our team offers patient, person centred support designed to preserve identity, encourage familiar routines, and provide calm reassurance throughout each day. We also welcome individuals with mental health needs, offering an environment where emotional wellbeing is nurtured with sensitivity and understanding. For residents with a physical disability, we focus on promoting independence, dignity, and comfort, tailoring our approach so that each person can live as fully as possible. We are also pleased to offer respite care, giving family carers the opportunity to take a well earned break whilst their loved one enjoys a short stay with us, supported by the same attentive team who care for our permanent residents. In practice, this means that families can feel confident their relative will be understood as an individual, not simply as a set of care needs. We take the time to learn about each resident's history, preferences, and the small routines that make life feel like home. Whether it is a favourite armchair by the window, a preferred cup of tea in the morning, or gentle company during a quieter afternoon, these are the details that shape our approach to care. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection, carried out in June 2022, in which Parklands received an overall rating of Good. We were rated Good across the domains of Safe, Effective, Caring, and Responsive, which speaks to the everyday experience of our residents and the dedication of our team. We recognise that our Well led domain was rated as Requires Improvement, and we take this feedback seriously. It has provided a clear focus for continued development, and we remain committed to strengthening our leadership and governance so that every aspect of life at Parklands reaches the highest possible standard. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that choice. We warmly invite you to get in touch, ask questions, and discover whether Parklands could be the right home for your loved one. Our door is always open, and we would be delighted to welcome you.
