Review of
Exmouth House
from Jennie D (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Dad has been at Exmouth House for the last 2 and a half years. My brother and I looked round several local care homes but none of them felt quite right for Dad until we went to Exmouth House. The calm, friendly atmosphere, the lovely bedroom, the large communal lounge, the range of activities and the

attentive staff made us immediately feel that Dad could be happy there. He settled in very quickly and I feel that he is safe and very well-looked after. The staff quickly got to know him and noticed what he liked and didn't like. The residents are treated as individuals, and always with respect and dignity. My brother and I both feel that we made the right choice for Dad.

from Sue R (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Exmouth House especially the lovely Kinga, what can I say that woman has boundless energy and always there for you when you need reassuring, nothing ever seems too much trouble. Mum became of resident at Exmouth House a year ago , and I must say I never thought mum would settle, but low and behold

she seems to have thrived in there bless her. I would also like to praise the lovely James too, always there when mum is feeling a little down he lifts her sprits and makes her feel like a Queen (his Words).
Thank you Exmouth House for all the love and attention mum receives from you all. I feel safe in the knowledge mum is well cared for and safe in your hands.
One big extended family.

Overall Experience

Mum has been at Exmouth House for 3 years. Myself & my brother are very pleased with the care she receives. It's like a home from home . Comfortable, warm with a great atmosphere. The care team are compassionate & go above & beyond to ensure all mums needs are met. Always with a smile & treated with

respect & dignity. Kat & Kinga keep us informed of how mum is & always keep us up to date with care or any issues that may occur. They know mum so well & are always on top of any concerns. Mums room is pretty & kept beautifully with all her own photos, books & treasures. Activities are very important to keep mum moving, busy & happy. Liz does a fab job & works hard with willing help from the staff. She invents fun activities. A lot of ideas come from the residents themselves. There are residents meetings so that mum can have a voice & feel valued. Liz is always open to ideas & suggestions . Mums receives regular prayers & holy communion which is important to her. Thank you all

Exmouth House
from Tracey S (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Sadly my Mum passed away in August after living at Exmouth House for just over two years.
I can't begin to say how happy I was with the care my Mum received whilst there and putting my mind at rest. I was kept updated with phone calls and video calls which was lovely. As I live in Essex, it meant

I could only get down once a month to see Mum, it was a great relief to know she was well looked after and I could sleep soundly at night.
There were always activities going on and outings. It has a real family feel to it.
The staff are amazing and so welcoming. What I loved was you could just turn up at any time and spend as long as you wanted there.
I would highly recommend Exmouth House, I shall miss seeing all the staff and residents there. Great team that I can't thank enough for everything

I can not begin to explain my journey and the care my father received duing his end of life path here at Ernstell.
The staff (all) are compassionate and nothing is too much for any of them. The detail and programmes they run for each resident is amazing. After my dad passed I realised how much I

had become to feel part of a bigger family and I miss them all even months on. Thank you Ernstell Team for my dads journey and making mine easier to bear.
I will be forever grateful. You are exemplary in every way.
You will not be forgotten.

The nicest thing about the home is the garden being able to take my husband down to garden gives us great pleasure. The staff are very attentive and supportive and management very good and helpful, the atmosphere in the home is pleasant and inviting, although the lounge is cramped for visitors and it

is not always possible to move away from the noise and confusion.

My husband has been in Signature House for two years with challenging alzheimers. The care he receives is outstanding, with well trained staff who all have endless patience and understand dementia. Activities are regular and fun, there is a small garden which residents can access, and visitors are welcome.

The food is generally nourishing and well cooked. Information is easily available online and from the staff, who are friendly and helpful.

My husband needed physical and mental help in the last few months of his life and we we were lucky enough to find The Orchards, a beautiful home of such very high standards. A visit at any time by family or friends was always met with a warm welcome by every member of staff on duty and we always knew

from J B (Wife of Resident) published on 3 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My husband has been here for 1 year now, and I am so grateful for the gentle, professional care given. The staff are trained to a very high standard; each of them has a great deal of knowledge and ability. I never feel I cannot ask for information or help from any of them, from the housekeeper/cleaners

to Management. My husband receives an astonishing amount of care and consideration. Given his extremely challenging behaviour, I cannot adequately praise the attitude of all the staff. They are kind, compassionate and trustworthy. He is in safe hands. Any concerns I have had have been dealt with very kindly by management who have gone beyond expectations.

Signature House
from Sandra L (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Mum had been in Signature House since April 2021 and sadly passed away on 20th January 2025.
She was very happy despite having dementia, very little sight and loss of hearing. The staff were absolutely amazing throughout her time there and particularly during the last few days of her life. I was

unfortunately abroad but my brother went to the home as soon as we were notified her health had deteriorated and stayed until she passed away. During this time the staff made sure he was comfortable and had meals as well as looking after Mum.
I would not hesitate to recommend Signature House to anyone who was looking for a placement for someone who has dementia and in fact two people I know have put their husbands there.
All the staff are exceptional and cannot do enough for their residents and family members.
We will support the events they hold to help raise money for the residents.

I was privileged to have spent some quality time at The Orchards today. The true sense of belonging and homeliness made you feel instantly welcomed. The first thing I noticed was the authentic bond between the staff, where their enthusiastic and caring attitude for each other was mirrored in the care

for their residents. Set in a quiet spot in Crewkerne and surrounded by a naturally beautiful area - this setting ticked the right boxes for being able to provide everything our loved ones deserve.

Exmouth House
from Gillian H (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our mum moved to Exmouth House at age 99, when she was too frail to continue living in her own home even with support. She was very anxious on arrival but was quickly helped to settle. She spent the last 3 years of her life relaxed and happy, confident in the care she received and thriving on the personal

attention, stimulating activities and warmth of relationships. Mum really appreciated the dignity and respect with which she was treated as she became increasingly dependent on others for basic necessities. As a family we found all staff friendly, welcoming and prepared to go the extra mile to give mum the best quality of life possible. All staff, whatever their roles, were excellent and the atmosphere of the home was remarkable.

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident now for over 4 years. She has intense physical needs (tetraplegia) but is fully mentally alert. The care she receives at Signature House has been exemplary and we cannot recommend the Nursing Home enough. The staff perform care to the highest of levels, going above and

beyond, and are also incredibly kind and considerate to visiting friends and family. My mother's care needs are met on every level and the nursing staff communicate any updates on medication, physical changes, or personal issues. There is always someone available to help connect family members via Facetime for a chat and we are grateful for all the help and care received - from management, reception, kitchen, and laundry to all the nurses and carers - nothing is ever too much trouble. Our thanks to all the team and (with experience of other care homes) we cannot recommend Signature House highly enough.
