About Kingsmount Residential Home

Kingsmount is a residential home in Paignton for older people who need care and company and can no longer safely manage alone. We are a house rather than an institution, and the day here has the ordinary shape of meals, conversation, fresh air and rest. Our care is residential rather than nursing. We help with washing and dressing, medication, eating well, moving about safely and simply being about so that somebody notices when a resident is not quite themselves. We support people living with dementia, and we rely on continuity above all: staff who know a person's history and habits, a routine that does not keep changing, and reassurance given as often as it is needed without any suggestion that it has been asked before. Community health professionals are brought in whenever something more clinical is required. Respite stays are available as well. They give family carers a proper break, and they let somebody find out how the home feels before any permanent decision is taken. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, which we treat as a standard to keep rather than a thing to display. If you are looking at Kingsmount for a relative, please come during an ordinary day, speak to the people who live here and form your own impression of the place.
