About Arcot House Residential Home

Arcot House Residential Home is a residential care home in Sidmouth, Devon, caring for older people who need support with daily life. We are a house rather than an institution, and we try never to lose sight of the difference. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are genuinely pleased about that, though the things that earned it are not dramatic. Knowing people properly. Taking time over the small parts of a day. Asking before doing. Noticing quickly when someone is not themselves. Getting the ordinary things right, again and again, is most of what good care actually consists of. People here decide when they want to get up, what they would like to eat, whether they want company or a quiet corner, and what they still prefer to manage for themselves. Our team helps with personal care, medication, meals and moving about safely, and Sidmouth itself is part of daily life, with the seafront and the town close at hand. We also offer respite stays, giving family carers a planned break while their relative is somewhere settled and welcoming. Families are welcome here, and we would always rather hear a concern early. If you are looking at homes in Devon, please come and see the place in person.
