About House

Exmouth House is a residential care home in Exmouth, Devon. We support older people who need help with daily living, and younger adults who need a supportive household. Respite stays are available as well. What we aim for is an ordinary life with help attached rather than a routine everybody has to fit into. Residents decide when to get up, where to sit, whether they want company or quiet, and what they would like to eat. We help with personal care, dressing, medication and mobility, doing only as much as somebody actually needs, because taking over is easy and rarely helpful. Dementia care is a large part of our work, and the practical side of it is unglamorous. Keeping the daily rhythm and surroundings consistent. Giving somebody time to find their words instead of finishing their sentence. Knowing enough about a person's earlier life to understand what a worry is really about. Families hold most of that knowledge and we ask for it early rather than guessing. Getting out matters too. Being by the sea is worth something, and we would rather support somebody to go where they want to go than fill an afternoon with activities chosen on their behalf. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are proud of that, though what we would rather be judged on day to day is whether residents and their families would say the same about this week. Come and see us on an ordinary afternoon.
