About The Community of St Antony & St Elias - 5 Priory Drive
We are The Community of St Antony and St Elias at 5 Priory Drive, a residential care home in Totnes, Devon. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with mental health conditions, and we offer respite stays for those who need care for a short time. Ours is a small household rather than an institution, and we try to keep it that way in practice as well as in description. Residents keep their own belongings, their own habits and their own privacy. Meals, company and quiet are arranged around the people who live here. Support is planned with each person, recorded so that everyone knows what has been agreed, and adjusted whenever circumstances change. Where someone is living with a mental health condition, the most useful things we offer are usually stability, patience and staff who are familiar. Being known by the people who support you takes a great deal of daily effort out of life. We work alongside the other professionals involved in someone's care rather than in parallel with them, and we make sure residents have a say in decisions that concern them. Respite guests are welcomed properly, with the same planning and the same attention as anyone else living here, so that a break is genuinely restful for everyone involved. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you would like to visit us in Totnes and ask questions, you are very welcome to get in touch.
