Care Homes Owned by GrayAreas Ltd in Devon

Kingsmount have been amazing in looking after my father when he returned home from Spain after a stroke, they treated him with care , compassion and dignity. Always doing their very best to meet his needs and kept us informed of anything that we needed to know, always answering any of our questions in a friendly and caring manner.

My husband wasn't initially keen on the need for respite care but the team at kingsmount won him over.

Staff extremely caring, nothing too much trouble. Food is hot on time and cooked on premises. Room is cleaned every day. My brother is washed and shaved, and head shaved when needed, or have a shower if wanted. Visiting is quite flexible.

My mother initially chose Kings Mount after seeing how my father Jim was being treated, some years ago. They moved into a double room and thoroughly enjoyed their life, being pampered. After my father passed away, Mom was very happy to stay in the residence in a smaller room, but still being pampered. Towards the end of her life I never had any worries about the wonderful care she received. I give a very heartfelt thanks to all the lovely staff who tended her.

My husband has been in this nursing home since July 2025 he has received exceptional care and kindness. All the carers and nurses at Mount Olivet make sure all residents are well looked after, and treated with respect. The managers are also very caring and interact with the residents and are very kind.

My Uncle arrived at "Kingsmount" in 2018, with his wife joining him a few weeks later. The care that they both received was exemplary from both the staff and the management that the both of them decided it was sensible choice for them to stay at "Kingsmount" permanently. Upon the sad death of my Uncle in 2019, my Aunt was relieved to be able to move the single room that she desired (with views across the bay). That was it - she was settled and being looked after and this was her home! Every Christmas and Birthday (and National Day I understand) was celebrated with cakes. The excellent weekly entertainment varied from singers & magicians to animal encounters. All of her care needs were met and reviewed constantly and she was always saying that she was putting on weight because the food was so tasty. She made many friends with the staff, in particular Di, Min and Brennan, and I want to thank you all for the peace of mind you provided in the care of both my Aunt and Uncle

The care my nan has received is second to none. She was admitted with EOL from hospital as was in a very bad state. Kingsmount gave excellent care and gave her a new lease of life. Personal centred care is excellent, helping her with her hair and make up and eccentric clothing. Management and Staff has always be open and transparent about all nans care and door has always been open if i need to discuss anything. They are able to identify her early signs of detiorioration and act promptly. Being in healthcare I have always been weary of any homes, but I feel safe and at ease knowing my nan is in safe hands. Entertainment and social activities are extremely good, always stuff going on, nan likes her room mainly has the option to go to the lounge if she wishes, Dianne is brilliant with 121 activities. Thanks Kingsmount for being caring and providing excellent care.

My mother stayed for a whole year at Mount Olivet Nursing Home. It was the most loving and happy home we could have wished for. The pleasant environment and view from her room wa a joy and I knew she would like it there. Most importantly the staff were so caring, competent and thorough I could relax knowing mum had everything she needed and extras like activities, outings and musicians. The management staff were reassuring and nothing was too much trouble. Kitchen staff taylored meals to suit and I will miss them all very much. Thank you to cleaners, maintenance & laundry staff also.

We placed our father in Kingsmount in November 2025 as his dementia meant he could no longer live alone. Although the home claims dementia care as its specialism, the manager, Brennan, gave notice to the local authority on day six without informing us first. He stated my father's behaviour was "too extreme" for them to manage, despite initially assuring us they could meet my father's needs. When I asked Brennan for guidance, he offered none and instead said he had never had to give notice to a resident before, which added shame and anxiety during an already difficult time. After this, Brennan often seemed too busy or distracted to address our concerns. With the local authority's support, we found a more suitable home. When the social worker asked about our father's stay, I relayed what Brennan had told me. The social worker was concerned, explaining that Brennan has issued notice to residents many times. A distinct lack of care from a 'care' home manager, at an immensely stressful time

My husband and father was in your home for the last 3 1/2 months. His care was excellent, the staff were friend, respectful, kind and went beyond their duty caring for him. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The chef would oblige with any food that was asked for. The management team kept us informed of every level of care dad was at. You also looked after our mum everyday she was with dad. We thank you for everything.

The care for my father was amazing. It was so comforting to know that he was being looked after so well. Thank you so much!

Although my neighbour waa only in for 5 days, the care and attention that he received from staff can not be faulted. They looked after him extremely well and also looked after his wife and I. Nothing was too much trouble. His room overlooked a pretty garden and was bright and comfortable. We can highly recommend this nursing home.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to the wonderful staff at Kingsmount who allowed our Mum's final days to be so peaceful and dignified.

Kingsmount Care Home was truly amazing both before and after my husband passed away. The staff were compassionate, attentive and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. Even after he passed, their kindness and support meant so much to me and my family. I can't thank them enough for the love and respect they showed me during such a difficult time.

While staying for his care and rehabilitation needs at the nursing home after his long complicated hospitalization following an emergency cardio-thoracic surgery and series of life-threatening conditions, unfortunately on a nice day while having a nap time, I woke up next to my partner gasping for air as he was suffering a Cardiac Arrest. The staffs promptly came to our rescue as I have pressed the emergency button and shouted for help. The manager and the on-duty nurse alternately provided chest compressions while I give breaths (as I am also trained to give CPR working as a carer myself) to my partner while someone immediately call 999 for assistance which came quickly followed by an air ambulance team. The staffs are trained to use a defibrillator device which has been used to my partner with the guidance of the individual who took the 999 call. I am very grateful for the immediate response and help from everyone that day because of their help I still have my partner alive with me.

It was excellent staying in Mount Olivet Nursing Home.

The staff were very attentive and professional. When I went to sit with my mum, if I was there for an hour, two or three different people would come to check she was comfortable. The home called nurses and ambulances when Mum needed them. The room was spacious and clean. All staff were caring and I really felt that they looked after my mum well.

The management and staff were all amazing so caring nothing was too much trouble and what they did when my step mother passed away was priceless, I cannot thank them enough for taking care of her. The manager really knows her stuff.

I can not recommend this care home highly enough. From the moment Mum went in till she left she was treated so well. She loved all of the staff from management and care staff to cleaners and catering staff. As relatives we were kept informed of everything that was going on regarding Mum and always made to feel very welcome. On the day she left she was visited by so many care staff and the management team which meant so much to her. Quite simply an outstanding care home.

Very good care home, with excellent caring staff, always made welcome when visiting and always kept informed of any accidents or incidents. Would recommend this care home.
