About Pinehurst Care Home
Here at Pinehurst Care Home, we are proud to be part of the Ilfracombe community, offering a warm and homely environment where older people can feel safe, comfortable and genuinely at ease. Nestled in the heart of Devon, our setting benefits from the charm and calm of the North Devon coast, and we believe that where you live matters just as much as how you are cared for. We support older people across a range of needs, including residential care, dementia care and respite care. Whether someone is joining us for a short stay to recover or rest, or making Pinehurst their longer term home, we work to understand each person as an individual. We take time to learn what matters to people, what their routines look like, what brings them comfort, and what makes them smile. For those living with dementia, we know how important familiarity and consistency are. Our approach is thoughtful and unhurried, and we work closely with families to ensure that the support we provide reflects each person's history, preferences and personality. Respite care is something we take seriously too. Caring for a loved one at home is not always straightforward, and sometimes families simply need time to rest and recharge. We welcome short stay residents with the same care and attention as anyone else who lives with us. Our most recent Care Quality Commission rating is good, which reflects the effort and commitment of everyone who works here. We are always looking at how we can improve and grow, and we welcome feedback from residents and families as part of that. If you would like to find out more about life at Pinehurst, or to arrange a visit, please do get in touch. We would love to show you around and have a proper conversation about how we might be able to help.
