About Sundial Care Home
Sundial Care Home is a nursing home in Sidmouth, Devon. We provide nursing care for older people, and we support people living with dementia and people managing a mental health condition. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are proud of it and cautious about it, because that standard is far easier to reach than to hold, and the quickest way to lose it is to start quoting it at people. What gets us there is nothing clever. A settled nursing and care team who know the residents properly. Health needs managed on site at all hours so that problems are caught early rather than after they have become serious. A day that belongs to the people living in it, so that residents decide when to get up, what to eat and how much company they want. Families who feel able to say when something is wrong, and a manager who is on the floor rather than behind a door. For those living with dementia, we work from the person's own history rather than the diagnosis. Please come and visit if you are considering nursing care locally. Come unannounced if you would rather.
