About Jack Sears House

Jack Sears House is a residential care home in Paignton, Torbay. We support older people who need help with daily living, people living with a physical disability, and younger adults whose needs suit a residential setting. We also offer respite stays for those who need care for a shorter period. We want this to feel like somewhere people live rather than somewhere people are placed. Residents choose when to get up, how to spend their time, what they eat and how sociable they want to be. Meals are cooked on the premises and preferences are remembered. There is company and activity for those who want it and quiet for those who do not. Where a physical disability is part of the picture, we make sure staff are trained properly in the equipment and techniques involved, because competence there is a matter of comfort as much as safety. We plan support with each resident rather than for them, and we focus on what somebody can still do for themselves as much as on what they need help with. We work closely with local GPs, community nurses and therapists, and we keep families properly informed. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable time. We have not yet received an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. We say that plainly and are happy to answer any question. Please come and look round.
