Care Homes Owned by Darbyshire Care Ltd in Devon

The house itself could do with a lick of paint and is a little dated, but that really doesn't matter - the warmth and kindness of the staff far outweigh any cosmetic details. We're deeply grateful for the compassion and support shown to Mum and us.

My mum was in for a few weeks after spending time in hospital. The staff were absolutely wonderful. We were a bit put off to start with as the building is old and a bit confusing to find way around but we soon got used to it. It was always spotlessly clean. They try and do something with the residents everyday from arts and crafts, games, singing, playing instruments, gardening etc. The food was good and drinks plentiful. There seemed to be plenty of staff as well.

thank you for looking after my mum who can be difficult at times

My mum has been at Hamilton House for 18 months, from which she has received the very best of care. The staff have always been very loving, caring, and attentive to my mother's needs. The home is safe and secure with a very homely atmosphere.

My darling mother was a resident at Hamilton until her passing in October this year. My mum had mixed dementia and keeping her safe at home was impossible. The staff at Hamilton are dedicated and professional with huge amounts of empathy and care.

During this odd time, all team members have done all they can to ensure safety and health is put first and not comprised in any way.

My mother has dementia and has been a resident here for 17 months now. The care and compassion she, and my family have received, have exceeded all of my expectations. The staff are highly professional and do everything possible to make the residents feel relaxed, comfortable and happy. The residents are shown true compassion and dignity. Although this is a very difficult time for my family, it has been made easier knowing that my mother is being so well cared for. I highly recommend Drake Nursing Home.

My mother passed away on January 2nd 2019 at Hamilton House. She had been getting progressively ill for a while and we chose for Mum to remain at Hamilton House rather than a hospital as she entered end of life care. We are glad we made this decision as the staff were wonderful and supportive of her and to us when we were there, especially at the end. it's the staff that make all the difference and they were magnificent.
