About Fernihurst Nursing Home
Here at Fernihurst Nursing Home in Exmouth, Devon, we provide nursing and personal care for people who need a little extra support to live well. We are rated Good by the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the hard work our team puts in every day to make sure the people living here feel safe, respected and genuinely at home. We support a wide range of needs under one roof. Alongside general older person and nursing care, we have real experience in dementia care and mental health support, and we also care for people living with physical disabilities, visual or hearing impairments, and younger adults who require nursing level support. We also offer respite stays, which can be a welcome relief for family members and carers who need a short break, knowing their loved one is in capable hands. Exmouth is a lovely part of Devon and we think our location adds something meaningful to daily life here. Whether it is a sea breeze through an open window or a familiar face popping in from the local community, being part of a real neighbourhood matters to us. We know that choosing a nursing home is rarely straightforward. It often comes at a difficult time, and families carry a great deal of worry through that process. We try to make things as clear and as reassuring as possible from the very first conversation, and we welcome visits so you can see for yourself what life here looks and feels like. Our approach is straightforward: we listen to what each person needs, we treat everyone with dignity, and we do our best to make each day a good one. We would be happy to hear from you if you would like to find out more about what we can offer.
