Everyday life, with care close by.
There is time for shared meals, visitors, fresh air and quieter moments, alongside the support each person needs. What matters most is that the day still feels like theirs.
Time for the things they enjoy.
There are places to sit with others, welcome family or enjoy a quieter moment. We want to know what someone looks forward to, so those interests have a place in life here.
The gardens and patio make it easy to step outside, with Devonport Park around the home.
“She had day trips out, a hairdresser, and the food was wonderful with a great selection including a dessert!”
Good food and time together.
Sitting down to eat can be one of the most enjoyable parts of the day: good food, company and time to talk.
We also take food seriously for people with dietary needs. One family described how the chef discussed the menu with their relative and offered alternatives.
“She had dietary problems, and the chef discussed the menu daily with her, producing alternatives.”
Care and company during the day.
Day care offers a change of scene, support and the chance to spend time with others, while someone continues to live at home. It can also give a family carer time for work, rest or an appointment.
Tell us about the person
We can talk about the support they need, what they enjoy and which days may work best.
Visit together
Come together to see the spaces, meet the people on duty and ask how day care works.
Start with a day
Ask whether one day is available to start with. We can discuss what would work after that.
We can discuss the days available and whether day care would suit the person and family.
Family remains part of everyday life.
Visits, birthdays and ordinary conversations still matter when someone lives in a care home. We want the people close to them to feel welcome here.
When you first come to look around, please call ahead so we can make time for you. We can also talk about visiting once someone moves in.
Call ahead on 01752 606066 or arrange a visit.
