About Deer Park Nursing Home

Deer Park Nursing Home is near Holsworthy in Devon, and we provide nursing care for older people and for younger adults whose health needs cannot be met at home. Qualified nurses are on duty day and night, so conditions that need watching are watched properly and we can act quickly when somebody becomes unwell. We care for people living with dementia, adults with mental health needs and people with a physical disability. Because those needs are so different, we assess carefully before anyone moves in and we plan support one person at a time. Nobody here is fitted into a standard routine. Living in this part of Devon means we are quieter than a town home, with fresh air, a garden and the seasons to mark the year. We make the most of that, but we also know the practical side matters to families, so we keep in close contact with local doctors and community teams and we keep relatives properly informed. Beyond the nursing, our aim is that life still feels like life. Residents choose when to get up, what to eat, who to see and how to spend the afternoon, and we try to make those choices real rather than theoretical. Respite stays are available for people needing nursing care for a short period and for family carers who need a break. Please ring us if you would like to visit.
