About Adelaide Lodge Care Home

Adelaide Lodge Care Home is a residential care home in Honiton, Devon. We look after older people who can no longer manage at home alone, including a good number living with dementia, people who have managed a mental health condition for years, people with a physical disability, and people who are blind, partially sighted, deaf or hard of hearing. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places. Running a home with that spread of need takes more thought than running one where everybody is alike, because no single routine will do. So we work out what each person's day ought to look like and then make the house fit around it rather than the other way round. Where sight or hearing has gone, an ordinary building starts working against a person, so we think about light, contrast, noise and the way staff approach somebody. For residents with dementia we keep life predictable and surroundings familiar. Where a physical disability is involved the work is often about equipment, patience and allowing time. Honiton is a Devon market town and most of our residents are from here or nearby, which makes conversation in the lounge easy. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Visit without an appointment if you would rather, and we would honestly prefer it.
