Which care homes in Exmouth are listed on this page?

Seventeen residential care homes registered with the Care Quality Commission match this search, among them Brimley, Brandon House, Miramar, The Lawns, The Homestead, Rose Lodge Exmouth, Exmouth House, Ashfield and Kahanah House. Two are rated Outstanding, twelve are rated Good and three have not yet been rated. Each home has a profile page with registration details and, where one exists, the latest inspection outcome. Working through the profiles is the quickest way to reduce a long list to a shortlist.

What is the difference between a care home and a nursing home?

A residential care home provides accommodation, meals and help with washing, dressing and daily routine, delivered by trained care staff. A nursing home offers all of that and additionally keeps registered nurses on duty at every hour for clinical care. Wound care, complex medication and close monitoring of an unstable condition normally require nursing registration. Every home matching this search is registered for residential care.

What should I ask when visiting a care home in Exmouth?

Ask about staffing levels in the daytime and overnight, and how absence is covered at short notice. Ask to see a room that is genuinely available and a fortnight of menus rather than a prepared sample. Find out how care plans are written and reviewed, and whether relatives are invited to take part. Ask as well how the home keeps families informed when something changes.

How do I arrange a care needs assessment in Exmouth?

Contact the adult social care team at Devon County Council and ask for an assessment of needs. The request can come from the person concerned, from a relative, or from a hospital team planning a discharge. It is free and is not means tested, so savings have no bearing on the right to have one. The written outcome forms the basis of any discussion about funding.

Can Devon County Council help with the fees?

It may, where the assessment identifies eligible needs and the financial assessment shows capital below the national threshold. The council then contributes towards the weekly fee while the resident pays an assessed amount from income such as pensions. Anyone with capital above the threshold usually meets the full cost themselves. Where the chosen home charges more than the council rate, a relative may be asked to make up the difference.

How far in advance should families start looking?

Earlier than most people expect, because the home that suits best may have no room free when it is needed. Visiting while there is no pressure allows time to compare properly and to return for a second look. Where a move follows a hospital stay, the decision may have to be made in days. Homes keep waiting lists, so registering an interest early costs nothing.

Choosing the right care home in Exmouth

Sorting a long list by rating

With a range of homes this size, the inspection judgements are the quickest first filter. Rose Lodge Exmouth and Exmouth House are rated Outstanding, a judgement inspectors reserve for services performing well beyond the expected standard. Twelve more are rated Good, among them Brimley, Brandon House, Miramar, The Lawns, The Homestead, Southgarth Care Home, Raleigh Manor Care Home, Sheridan House and Dove Lodge Care Home. Three, Rest Haven Residential Home, Trianon and Manor Lodge Care Home, have not yet been rated, so there is no inspection judgement to weigh in their case and other evidence has to do more work.

What the rating cannot tell you

A rating describes a home at the moment inspectors visited, so check the date and ask what has changed since, particularly where the manager is new. Beyond that, the decision usually turns on fit. How near is the home to the people who will visit, since regular visitors are among the strongest safeguards a resident has? Can the home support the specific needs involved, whether that is dementia, limited mobility or a routine that matters a great deal to the person? Is there a bed available in the timescale you actually have?

What to look for in person

Visit at a busy time, such as during a meal, when a home is hardest to present at its best. Ask how many staff are on duty by day and overnight, how much of the team is permanent rather than agency, and how long the manager has been in post. Ask what happens if a resident's needs grow beyond personal care, because a home registered for residential care cannot provide nursing on site. Then notice the ordinary things: whether residents look occupied, whether staff use their names, and whether anyone seems to be waiting a long time for attention.

Arranging and funding a place in Exmouth

Start with an assessment of needs

An assessment is free, open to anyone who appears to need care whatever their savings, and it produces a written record that any home will find useful. Devon County Council Adult Social Care carries it out, considering health, mobility, medication and daily routine. Where eligible needs are identified, a financial assessment follows and settles how much of the weekly fee public funding meets and how much the resident pays from income and capital.

Understanding the fees

Residential fees vary between homes and rise over time, so ask each one for a written schedule showing the core weekly charge and anything billed separately, such as hairdressing, chiropody or outings. Where capital sits above the national threshold the resident pays in full, and where it falls below, the council contributes while the resident pays an assessed amount from income. If the preferred home charges above the council rate, a third party contribution is usually needed to cover the difference. Ask what notice is given before fees increase, which is the question most easily forgotten in the rush of a move.
