About Watermeadow Grange

Watermeadow Grange is a residential care home in Exeter caring for older people, including those living with dementia, those with physical disabilities and those with sight or hearing loss. We also support younger adults, and respite stays are available alongside permanent places. We try to run this as a home rather than a service. Residents get up when they are ready, eat what they want, keep their own routines and have a real say in how their support is given. Rooms belong to the people living in them, and we encourage families to bring in furniture, photographs and the things that make a space feel like somebody's own. Supporting someone living with dementia takes patience and steadiness above all. We keep routines familiar, surroundings easy to understand and staffing as consistent as we can manage, and we ask families to share the person's history so our team can make sense of what is being said and respond to the feeling behind it. For residents with physical disabilities or reduced sight and hearing, the right equipment and sensible adjustments are what make independence possible, so we arrange those rather than simply doing more for people. Families are welcome and we would far rather hear a concern early than have you worry quietly at home. If you are considering a move, please come and look round and take your time deciding.
