About Linksway
We at Linksway are proud to offer dedicated nursing home care in the welcoming coastal town of Exmouth, Devon. Our home has been thoughtfully designed to provide older people with the specialist nursing support they need, delivered in an atmosphere that feels warm, familiar, and reassuringly homely. Nestled within the EX postcode area of Exmouth, our setting benefits from the gentle character of this well loved South West community. Residents and their visiting loved ones can enjoy the calm surroundings of a town known for its coastline, its friendly local pace, and its strong sense of neighbourhood. Being part of Exmouth means our residents remain connected to the wider Devon community they may have known for many years. Our specialisms centre on Older Person Care, Nursing Care, and Respite Care. In practice, this means that whether someone is joining us for a longer stay or for a shorter period of respite, they are supported by a team experienced in meeting complex clinical and personal needs. For families, this often brings enormous peace of mind. Knowing that qualified nursing support is on hand day and night allows loved ones to feel confident that health needs, whether ongoing conditions, recovery after hospital, or the everyday challenges that can come with older age, are being met with skill and compassion. Respite care also offers vital breathing space for family carers, giving them time to rest whilst their relative enjoys a change of scenery and attentive care. We believe good care is about more than clinical excellence. It is about the small daily moments, a friendly chat over a cup of tea, an unhurried mealtime, a quiet afternoon with a favourite book, or simply the reassurance of a kind face nearby. Our aim is for every resident to feel genuinely at home with us, treated as an individual with their own history, preferences, and personality. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection, carried out in August 2023, resulted in an overall rating of Requires Improvement. Within that inspection, we were pleased to be rated Good for being Effective and Good for being Caring, reflecting the quality of the relationships our team builds with those in our care and the meaningful outcomes we support. The domains of Safe, Responsive, and Well led were rated Requires Improvement, and we take this feedback seriously. We are committed to open, transparent progress and are actively working to strengthen these areas so that every part of life at Linksway matches the warmth and kindness our residents already experience day to day. We believe honesty about where we are on our journey is central to building trust with the families who consider us. If you are exploring nursing care options in Exmouth for a parent, partner, or relative, we warmly invite you to get in touch. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we are here to answer your questions with patience and clarity. Please do reach out to arrange a visit, meet our team, and see for yourself the caring community we are proud to nurture at Linksway.
