About Amberwood Nursing Home

Amberwood Nursing Home is a nursing home in Exmouth, Devon, caring for older people whose health needs require qualified nursing as well as help with daily life. People usually come to us at a point of change. A condition has become harder to manage at home, or a hospital stay has made it clear that more support is needed. Our job from that moment is to make the place feel less like a decision and more like a home, so that someone can stop worrying about how they will cope and get on with their day. Registered nurses work alongside our care team, which means we can look after people with health needs that require regular clinical attention and continue caring for them as things change. Residents keep their own routines as far as they are able. They decide when to get up, where to sit, what to wear and how much they want to join in with whatever is going on. Respite stays are available too, whether a family carer needs a planned break or somebody needs nursing support for a short period before returning home. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We are glad of it, though we pay closer attention to what residents and their families tell us week to week. If you are considering nursing care in Exmouth, please ring and arrange to visit. We would rather you saw the place properly and asked plenty of questions first.
