About Crelake House Residential Care Home

Crelake House Residential Care Home is a residential care home in Tavistock, Devon. We are home to older people who need support with everyday life, including residents with mental health needs, residents with physical disabilities and residents with visual or hearing impairment, and we offer respite stays for shorter periods. Residents here have different histories, different routines and very different ideas of a good day, so we plan support one person at a time. We ask when someone likes to wake, what they want to eat, how much help they want and where they prefer to spend the afternoon. Help with personal care, meals and medication is given quietly and with respect for privacy, and whatever a resident can still manage for themselves is protected. Mental health needs ask for patience and for noticing a change early rather than waiting for it to become a crisis, and we work alongside colleagues in local health teams where that helps. For residents with physical disabilities we pay close attention to mobility and to the arrangements that let someone do more without help. For residents with sensory loss we adapt how we communicate and how shared spaces are arranged. Families are welcome whenever they wish to come and we would far rather hear a concern while it is small. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
