About Carisbrooke Nursing Home
We at Carisbrooke Nursing Home are proud to offer dedicated nursing care for older people in the heart of Torquay, a coastal town in Torbay long cherished for its gentle pace and restorative sea air. Our home provides a welcoming environment where residents receive skilled clinical support alongside the warmth of everyday companionship. Set within the TQ postcode area of Torquay, our home benefits from the calm and characterful surroundings of the South West coast. Families visiting loved ones often comment on the reassuring sense of community that the town offers, with its familiar streets, local amenities, and the soothing presence of the bay never far away. We aim to reflect that same sense of ease within our walls, creating a setting where residents feel settled, comfortable, and at home. Our specialism lies in nursing care for older people, supported by a thoughtful respite care offering for those who need shorter stays. For residents, this means access to qualified nursing support around the clock, with care plans shaped around individual health needs, preferences, and personal routines. For families, it means the reassurance of knowing that complex medical needs are met with professionalism, whilst the smaller moments, a favourite breakfast, a familiar piece of music, a quiet chat by the window, are never overlooked. Our respite care also offers vital support to family carers who need a trusted place for their loved one to stay, whether for recovery after a hospital visit or simply to allow a much needed break. We believe in being open about our quality journey. Our most recent CQC inspection, carried out in September 2022, awarded us an overall rating of Requires Improvement. Within that, we were pleased to be rated Good for being Effective and Good for being Caring, a reflection of the compassion our team brings to every interaction and the positive outcomes our residents experience. We also recognise the areas identified for further development across the Safe, Responsive, and Well led domains, and we remain wholeheartedly committed to listening, learning, and strengthening every aspect of life at our home. Transparency matters to us, and so does steady, meaningful progress. Choosing a nursing home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the care and consideration it deserves. If you are exploring options for a loved one in Torquay or the wider Torbay area, we warmly invite you to get in touch, ask questions, and learn more about how we can support your family during this chapter. Whatever stage of the journey you are at, we are here to listen with patience and to help you find the right path forward.
