About The White House

We are a residential care home in Teignmouth, providing a home for older people and younger adults who need support with daily life. We aim to keep the feel of a household rather than an institution, with people bringing their own furniture and pictures and carrying on with what they enjoy. We help with personal care, mobility, meals and medication, and we care for people living with dementia, where familiar faces and unhurried time do more good than anything more elaborate. We also support people living with mental health needs, where a calm and steady house counts for a great deal, people with a physical disability, thinking carefully about how rooms are arranged and how we work so that independence is not quietly eroded, and people with a visual or hearing impairment, adapting how we communicate. Respite stays are available too, whether to give a family carer a real break or to let someone try the home before making a longer decision. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We think keeping it depends on hearing about small problems early, so we ask residents and relatives often and we act on what they say. Please do come and visit. Looking round, meeting people and having a cup of tea tells you far more than anything written down.
