About The Old Rectory Nursing Home
Here at The Old Rectory Nursing Home in Exeter, Devon, we provide nursing care for older adults, people living with dementia, those with physical disabilities and younger adults who need a higher level of support. We also offer respite care for those who need a short break or a period of recovery. We are proud to have received a "Good" rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the effort our whole team puts into making sure the people in our care feel safe, respected and genuinely at home. That rating matters to us, not as a badge to display, but because it tells us we are getting things right for the people who live here and their families. Care at this level is not straightforward. People come to us with complex needs, and we take the time to understand each person properly, their history, their preferences, what makes them comfortable and what matters most to them day to day. Our nursing team works closely with GPs, specialists and families to make sure care plans are kept current and truly reflect each individual. For those living with dementia, we work hard to create an environment that feels calm and familiar, where routine and gentle reassurance are part of everyday life. For younger adults and those with physical disabilities, we think carefully about how to support independence and dignity in ways that are meaningful to that person. We know that choosing a nursing home, whether for yourself or someone you love, is one of the most significant decisions a family can face. We welcome anyone who would like to come and visit us, have a look around and ask as many questions as they need. We would rather you felt completely confident before making any decision, and we are always happy to talk things through.
