About The Larches

The Larches in Tiverton is a care home providing residential care for older people across this part of Devon, including residents living with dementia and people with physical disabilities. We offer respite stays as well. It is right to be open about our regulator. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have taken the findings seriously rather than defensively. How care is assessed, planned and recorded has been reworked, supervision of the staff team has been strengthened, and we have made it easier for residents and relatives to raise something with us and get a proper answer. Some of that work is still under way, and we would rather you heard that from us. Ask for specifics and we will give them. The daily work continues and the people living here deserve it done well. Help offered without hurry, at each person's own pace. Food that is worth sitting down to. For residents living with dementia, a routine that stays recognisable and staff who know enough about a person's earlier life to make sense of the present. Tiverton is a friendly town, visitors are welcome without appointments, and we would rather families were closely involved than kept at arm's length. Respite stays are available for carers needing a break and people recovering their strength. Please visit and judge us on what you find.
