About Ivydene Residential and Nursing Home

Ivydene is a residential and nursing home in Ivybridge. We care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss, and we also offer respite stays. Providing residential and nursing care in the same house matters more than it might sound. It means that when somebody's health changes, they do not have to pack up and start again somewhere unfamiliar. They stay where they are, with the same faces around them, and the care changes instead. Having nurses on the premises at all hours means changing health, skin and wound care, complicated medication and support at the end of life can be managed here, alongside the GP and community teams. It also means that when a person begins to become unwell, we usually notice early. Around the clinical side, this is a home. People keep their own belongings, decide how the day goes and are not expected to fit a timetable. Where dementia or sensory loss makes communication harder, we slow down, check that hearing aids and glasses are working, and give people the time to answer. Relatives are welcome and we encourage them to visit, to join in and to tell us when we have got something wrong. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at care in this part of Devon, please contact us and arrange a visit.
