Malden House is a truly elegant country residence that is steeped in period charm yet filled with warmth and understanding. The original house, which dates back to 1820, has been thoughtfully re-designed, and recently extended, incorporating many original features to provide a safe, appealing and comfortable home for its residents.
Located in the picturesque coastal town of Sidmouth in East Devon, Malden House nestles comfortably in the beautiful countryside and lies within a short walk of the sandstone cliffs of the Sid Valley. A fully-trained, compassionate and caring team has created an exceptional residential care home equipped with 29 bedrooms and spaces inside and out to enjoy both companionship and privacy.
Residents can relax in the communal areas, enjoy all inclusive homemade meals in the dining rooms or enjoy the fresh air in the gardens. Video calling is also available to keep up to date with friends and family along with an all inclusive laundry service.
Malden House is a family home created with three underlying values at its core. These are care, comfort and companionship.

Dad could not look after Mum any longer. Malden House and their caring and friendly staff give Mum the care that she needs. The place is clean and tidy and we are very happy that Mum is there.

What a lovely review of Malden House. Thank you so much for your kind comments about the way in which our fantastic caring and friendly team are looking after your Mum. We hope you and your Dad also feel very welcome there when you come to visit her.

I am consistently impressed by the high level of care and courtesy shown to my mother and myself. She is shown a lot of respect and consideration and the variation in activities is staggering. They are frequent, of high quality and also topical. The property (although ageing gracefully like my mother) is kept in very good condition and is always spotless. Well done to the team.

Tea, coffee and cake were brought up to her room in a friendly manner and the staff member glanced around and noticed something out of place and dealt with it. Spoke again to a staff member on leaving for advice. Felt reassured and pleased.

My mother is registered blind (can only see blurred shapes through a tunnel) and naturally this move to a new "home" has been frightening and harrowing for her and a worrying time for her family. Because of this, the management, staff and carers have and are doing their utmost to help Mum adjust and to have her feel safe and secure and bring about a feeling of wellbeing and happiness. They also believe in constant open lines of communication with the relatives, which is so reassuring.

I couldn't be happier with how well my grandmother is being looked after. She is extremely well cared for in every aspect. Knowing that she is so well looked after has given my whole family peace of mind. I am very appreciative of the personal care my grandmother has received.

My father has been a resident at Malden House since mid-2016 and I have been very happy with the care he has received. The staff go out of their way to mark and celebrate all the events of the year eg Bonfire night, Hallowe'en, Wimbledon tennis, by decorating the communal rooms and involving the...

I have been so pleased with the warmth of care from all the care workers at the home. My mother in law has been a resident at Malden House for over two years and has settled so well. It is such a caring environment that she felt at home almost immediately and has found a new spirit of life, all credit to the extreme attention to the care needs of all residents. Such a good residents 'home'.

I only have immense praise for all the staff at Malden House; my mother is so happy there and she feels loved and cherished, never patronised. The home is kept very clean and comfortable and every effort is made to make the residents feel that they are in their own home with the benefit of having other people to converse and have fun with as well as knowing their well-being is being totally taken care of. I have total admiration and trust for and in them. Thank you so very much.
Malden House is a homely, welcoming, dementia home. The staff are friendly caring and courteous. The home did need a freshen up as it was looking tired but recently the new paint and blinds have brightened up the home.

Staff are very good and helpful. They have helped the relative back to a happy person. Much better than when she moved in.

Welcome to Malden House, a home of which I am extremely proud in its entirety. Malden House wholly encompasses the values of our Hartford Care group by supporting our residents, visitors and team to create a welcoming, home-from-home experience. I am hugely passionate about empowering our community to pursue their hobbies and provide opportunities to learn new skills and interests. Our team excel in their kindness, compassion and knowledge for their roles but are encouraged to welcome new opportunities for learning and growth. We have strong relationships with our multi-disciplinary teams and the wider community, helping us to provide our residents with holistic, person-centred care that supports both physical and emotional wellbeing.

My name is Gabrielle, but better known as Gabby. I have worked in care since 1992 and can honestly say I have enjoyed many parts of this rewarding profession.
I have performed many roles and each one has brought different things to the table. It has meant that I have had the privilege of meeting and caring for so many people from different walks of life, different characters and different concerns.
I have worked at Malden House for thirteen years. I feel honoured that I have reached the point where I can support as Deputy Manager alongside Tabitha our Manager.
We understand what a difficult transition it is for elderly people, some with dementia to move into a care setting but this extends to the families too. We aim to support all.
I feel privileged to work in such a caring home and I feel honoured to share the experiences and lives of our ladies and gentlemen who have done so much for us and even the country as a whole.
