About Southlands Residential Care Home

Southlands Residential Care Home is in Newton Abbot. We care for older people who need support with everyday life, including people with a physical disability and people whose sight or hearing is impaired, and we also support some younger adults. Our care is practical and personal: help to wash and dress, medication given properly, meals cooked on the premises, support to move about safely and staff available through the night. Around that, residents arrange their own time, and we try not to organise people's lives on their behalf. Where somebody needs help to move, we take the time that doing it safely and comfortably requires, using the proper equipment and explaining as we go. Where sight or hearing is impaired, the details decide everything. Belongings stay exactly where they are expected, we say who we are and what we are about to do, and we check that we have been understood rather than assuming. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places, whether to give a family carer a planned break or to help somebody regain confidence after illness. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families across Devon are welcome to visit. Please ring to arrange a time.
