The Firs is a residential care home set in the heart of the small village of Witheridge in Mid Devon close to Tiverton, South Molton and Braunton. The Firs is housed in an elegant period style building which used to be the doctors manor house back in the early 1900s.
The home is nestled within large acres of garden allowing many scenic seating areas and that feeling of being outdoors close to nature. The garden is complete with vegetable plots and a large pond with a variety of fish. Residents are encouraged to participate if they wish in the up keep of the gardens and advice and tips are welcomed by the gardener.
Within the home there is a large communal lounge with an adjoining conservatory overlooking the gardens, a grand hallway, separate dining room and an activities room. All bedrooms are spacious and come fully furnished with the choice of an en-suite where available.
There is a dedicated and skilled care team available 24 hours a day delivering person-centred and tailored care to each individual who resides in the home offering flexibility and choice around day to day living. The home is able to accommodate individuals who need residential care and those who are living with dementia.
The Firs can offer both permanent placements and shorter respite breaks for those who may have families going on holiday or who would benefit from some TLC. Understanding that moving into a care home can be a daunting time, and an extremely hard decision to make, there is flexibility around respite stays for those who wish to try a shorter break prior to making their final decision.
Residents' well being is an important factor at the Firs which is why they have a dedicated Well Being Coordinator to deliver a 7 day activities schedule which includes group events, one to one activities or planning a larger event like their annual summer fete.

On my very first entry to The Firs to visit a client, I had this moment of reflection of many things all wrapped into care. I was so happy inside, I cannot express the warmness I encountered. Empathy. I would like to think I have many hours to visit the home to see more. We need these kinds of homes so people can have 'home from home' for the rest of life, no worries. Care.

The staff at the Firs are all wonderful. I have never had any concerns about my Dad's welfare in the 9 months that he has been living there. They are caring, kind, calm and conscientious. The atmosphere is always a good one and I could not wish for a better place for my Dad to be living. The recent refurbishment was required and now The Firs is looking smart and welcoming. Every time I visit, twice a week, I feel confident that my Dad is being cared for as well as he possibly could. I always leave content, knowing that each and every one of the staff do everything they can to make life for my Dad as comfortable and as enriched as possible. Thank you.
