About Halsdown Nursing Home

Halsdown Nursing Home is in Exmouth, and we provide residential care for older people who need support with daily life and with health needs that have become harder to manage alone. Being in Devon, close to the sea, means a good deal to many of the people who live here, and we make the most of it. Our approach is unhurried. People keep their own routines, spend their time as they wish and keep their own things around them. Some want company and activity, others want a quiet room and the paper, and both are entirely reasonable. Meals matter, and so does the ordinary sociability of the house, so we put real effort into both. We also offer respite stays, whether someone needs care while recovering from illness or a hospital stay, or a family carer needs a genuine break. We plan short stays properly, so someone arrives to a room prepared for them and a team who already know how they like things done. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We treat that as the baseline rather than the aim. The more telling measure is whether people here seem settled and whether relatives feel able to raise something early rather than waiting until it has become a complaint. Anyone considering us is welcome to visit and see for themselves.
