About West View

West View is a residential care home in Yelverton caring for older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with a physical disability and people with sight or hearing loss. Running a home with that range of needs works only if each person is treated as an individual, which is where we start. Support is planned with the person and, where they want it, with their family, and it covers the practical help with washing, dressing, moving safely, medication and meals as well as the things that make a day worth having. Our staff are trained for the needs they support and they stay long enough to know people properly. Knowing somebody is what lets you notice that they are in pain when they cannot say so, or low rather than simply tired. For people living with dementia we keep routines predictable and surroundings familiar. The home is somewhere people live. Rooms are personalised, meals are cooked here with a genuine choice, visitors are welcome, and there is company for those who want it and quiet for those who do not. Respite and short stays can be arranged. If you are looking at care homes in this part of Devon, please ring us and arrange to come and see.
