Endeavour Residential Home

Although never eaten there the food always made me wish I could.

Went to the afternoon 'get together' on sun 27th July 2025. The event was very well organised and included someone singing for 2 hrs in total and was enjoyed by everyone, residents, visitors and staff, refreshments were served which was an excellent spread enjoyed by all. The staff were excellent in every way, the whole afternoon was a lovely experience and enjoyed by all. Congratulations to all the team at Endeavour.

As always the endeavour management and staff perform with flying colours well done to you all.

Sadly, within a week of arriving at Endeavour dad's health declined and it was evident we were entering end of life care. From that moment on I was able to have honest conversations about dad's care needs in a very professional but also caring empathetic way. My dad received fabulous nursing care at the home supported by the district nurses, and as a family, we were also involved and cared for at a time of great personal pain. My dad was treated with the upmost dignity and respect throughout. Thank you for making the hardest time of our lives more bearable through your care.

All initial apprehension vanished after visiting Mum in Endeavour Residential Home. Mum was in for respite care for four weeks and every single member of staff could not do enough to help. She was made to feel welcome and that it was her home while she was there. Food menus were displayed daily along with activities. Rooms were spotless and had everything Mum needed. She was treated with care and dignity throughout her stay. Thank you to everyone involved.

From the moment my mother stepped through the door at Endeavour she was welcomed with big smiles and warm wishes. We needed urgent respite care and none us knew what to expect, mum was understandably nervous and highly anxious. Both the team and the residents did their utmost to put mum at ease, they were so kind and attentive and it was no time before mum was fully immersed in Endeavour life. Mum has been very happy and has felt very safe during her stay and has built some lovely friendships. As a family we hugely appreciate the care and support that mum has been shown and would like to thank all the team sincerely.

My mother was given exceptional care and help at Endeavour. She was made to feel welcome from the first day and encouraged to join in the multitude of activities

She settled into Endeavour very quickly and has appreciated the plentiful food, various activities, but most of all the friendly and caring staff.

I visit an old friend of mine once a week. She is very happy at "Endeavour" and tells me she is well looked after. She is always clean and tidy, has her hair washed and set every week and her room is bright and spotlessly clean. I am very impressed with the staff who look after her - they are kind and attentive and pay great attention to safety. My friend tells me the food is "really good" - I don't eat there, but I am always invited to join the residents in an afternoon cup of tea and a biscuit. The residents are always at ease and clearly happy together in the lounge areas. Again, these communal areas are always clean, light and airy. My friend tells me she enjoys a variety of activities including visiting musicians. There's no doubt that the overall atmosphere is happy and relaxed.

There is always a warm welcome when visiting Endeavour Resident Home. The residents are always comfortable together in the light airy environment and very often have entertainment which I find is lovely. I have got to know the team leaders and the managers over the three years mum has been in care. I feel confident that my mum is well looked after with kindness and understanding.

Mum has been looked after very well, all the cares are lovely, they all work very hard with all the residents. Very impressed.

My Nan is always well presented with clean clothes and appearance. The staff interact with her on a professional level but also with an approach that puts my Nan at ease. The staff are always busy looking after the residents and their needs but are patient when doing so. There is always a pleasant atmosphere when we are visiting.

A review of their Summer Party - was very enjoyable and everyone had a good time. They had a lovely singer, very good food, and as always very attentive staff. I cannot praise Endeavour Residential Home enough, I am so lucky to have my Mum living there.

My auntie is well looked after by a caring team. This home was recommended to us by a friend and has exceeded all expectations. The manager goes out of her way to assist in all circumstances.

My Nan initially went in for respite after a hospital admission. Once well enough to return home my Nan made the decision to live permanently at Endeavour. Nan said she felt safe there and was well cared for. My Nan refers to other residents as her friends. Nan has always been a sociable lady but lost her spark over the years, since moving into Endeavour my Nan has returned to how she was. Full of fun and laughter. Nan now enjoys days out with her family members but is always happy to return home with her friends. All the staff and management I have encountered have been very kind and caring. You can see the resident's care needs are front and foremost. Everyone seems so happy when we visit. It has definitely regained my trust and faith in care home settings.

We realise that there are many pressures for staff in the care sector as a whole, but maybe a written care plan for residents would be an added reassurance for families.

My mum has been here for 2 1/2 weeks having respite. The staff seem very helpful - no complaints.

My mum has been living here for three years and receives excellent care. There is a very friendly and homely atmosphere which we have particularly appreciated since the lifting of covid restrictions. The staff are always caring and courteous both to mum and the family.

There is always a lovely warm and friendly atmosphere. Mum loves it here, it is home.

I find all the staff to be friendly, polite and helpful. My mum is always clean, tidy and dressed properly. I feel that she is safe and secure. The home is well-maintained and decorated. The food is excellent and there is a choice of meals. My mother has lived at Endeavour for just over a year during which time she has needed medical attention which the staff ensured she received and when necessary promptly called a doctor. Communication from the staff and manager has been very good.

Mum originally came to Endeavour Residential Home for respite care and asked to stay because she really liked it! The manager and staff are lovely, Mum feels safe and cared for which is so important for someone with dementia! She has settled in quickly and loves it! It’s been a great relief for the family to find a well run specialist home in Exeter!
