About Westlands Care Home

Westlands Care Home is a residential care home in Teignmouth, Devon. We provide a home for older people, including those living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with sight or hearing loss. Respite stays are available for shorter periods of care. We want this to feel like somewhere people live rather than somewhere people have been placed. Residents bring their own furniture and photographs, keep their own routines and decide how the day runs. Some are up early and want company and conversation straight away. Others want their own room, a newspaper and a quiet afternoon. Neither needs explaining to us, and we plan around the person rather than around what suits a rota. Supporting people living with dementia is a large part of what we do, and steadiness is what helps most. Familiar faces, routines that change only when there is a reason, patience when words are hard to find, and a real effort to understand what somebody means rather than what they managed to say. Where people have sight or hearing loss we take particular care over how we communicate. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. It reflects reliable everyday practice, which is what most families are genuinely looking for. If you are considering a care home in this part of Devon for someone close to you, you are welcome to visit and ask us whatever you need to know.
