About Chollacott House Nursing Home

Chollacott House Nursing Home is in Tavistock, Devon. Qualified nurses are on duty here throughout the day and night. We care for older adults, including many living with dementia, for people with a physical disability, and for younger adults whose health needs require nursing. Respite admissions are available alongside permanent places. We will raise our rating ourselves rather than let you find it and wonder why we said nothing. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We accept the finding. An inspection records what was there on the day, and putting it right is our responsibility and nobody else's. There is an action plan, the people who commission care from us know where we have reached with it, and any family considering us is welcome to go through the detail with the manager rather than being handed a reassuring sentence. Meanwhile the nursing continues and it matters. Medicines, wounds, pain, pressure care, and making sure people eat and drink enough. What no procedure covers is noticing early when somebody is not themselves, and that rests on the same staff knowing the same residents, which is exactly where a home under pressure must concentrate. Tavistock sits on the edge of Dartmoor and we get people out into it when we can. Come and see us on an ordinary afternoon and ask the awkward questions.
