About Cross Park House

Cross Park House is a care home in Brixham, and we support older people from across Torbay and the surrounding bay towns. Much of what we do is unremarkable on paper and matters enormously in practice: a familiar face at breakfast, help getting dressed without fuss, and someone who notices when a resident is not quite right. We provide residential care for older people, including those living with dementia and those with physical disabilities that make life at home difficult. Mobility support is a real strength of ours. We plan carefully so that reduced movement never becomes a reason to stay in one room, and we keep people involved in the parts of the day they enjoy. Dementia care here begins with life history. Knowing that someone worked at sea, raised a large family or always took tea at a certain hour tells us far more about how to settle them than any general guidance could. We also offer respite stays for families who need a break or who are managing a period of recovery. Short stay guests are welcomed into the routine rather than kept at the edge of it. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. We are glad of it and we still ask residents and relatives regularly what is working and what is not. Visitors are welcome. Come and see the place on an ordinary day, which tells you more than any brochure.
