Mum was treated with care and respect and I was happy that she had been well taken care of. She came home with many happy stories and we would have no hesitation in choosing The Red House for any future respite care requirements.

I was advised I would not be able to care for my husband for the first couple of weeks following a minor eye op. I was also desperately in need of a break-from my caring role. Therefore, hoped he would be able to stay at the Red House which had been recommended a few years ago and where he had...
Great experience for me. I knew he was in a safe and caring environment and when I called in to see him he was very happy.
The team at The Red House have made our first experience of residential care as pleasant as could be possible. The team are sensitive and helpful whilst acting in a professional, respectful, effective and efficient manner. I cannot praise them highly enough. They treat all the guests with respect...
In all, I cannot imagine a better environment and feel we have struck very lucky in finding The Red House.
My aunt decided that she could no longer live independently and said that of all the local care homes, she wanted to come here. She has not been disappointed, and with the transfer to new ownership the house has only improved further. She has particularly commented on the delicious food and the...
The staff are incredibly warm and caring and I feel often go above and beyond to look after the people in their charge. You can feel the welcome as soon as you walk through the front door; it's proof that it's the people and their commitment that really make the place.

Other than that I have no complaints or concerns about my cousin staying with with The Red House, he is doing well there and wants to stay.
Thank you all so very much.

My mother was an emergency respite placement following an awful hospital discharge. She was very unwell but right from the start all the carers and other staff have been extremely caring, kind and supportive to my mother. As time has gone on she is still not well and it has become apparent that she is unable to return home and is now a long term resident. If my sister and I have had any concerns about anything these have been addressed immediately. They have kept us in the loop and informed us immediately when my mother has been unwell and either ambulance or GP has had to be contacted.
All the residents seem happy and there is a full activity...
Yes the home could do with some updating and cosmetic improvements and I understand that the new owners are looking into this. That said it doesn't distract from the overall positive experience. The Red House is then, highly recommended.

Mum is very happy here and that is what is most important to us as a family. Thank you

Our Dad is very well cared for at The Red House. We know that he is loved by the staff who know him very well and are very tolerant in some difficult times. Dad has a lovely room that has been adapted for him and he has lots of opportunities for activities - that he is encouraged to do but only if he wants to take part. Dad is well cared for in terms of his medical needs and staff are pro-active and communicative. The Red House has an active social media page and we love seeing all the planned activities and the photos and videos on there - this is so valuable to us. The food is also wonderful. Thank you to all the team.

As soon as I walked through the front door of Red House I knew it was the right care home to choose for my friend. She is very well looked after and safe at Red House. The staff are very friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. My friend has special dietary needs and these needs are met with a good and varied diet. There are lots of activities throughout the week which my friend enjoys. My friend often tells me how caring the staff are and that she is happy and well looked after at Red House.

My dad has been in the Red House for over 2 years - initially as a day resident and respite and then as a full time resident. The team are all amazing. The personalised care they provide, knowing their residents, focussing their approach on the individuals needs. This care also extends to the family - they recognise how difficult it can be when a family member gets to the point of needing such a setting. The events they organise throughout the year, the meals, cakes and the choice is great. Thank you

Very friendly atmosphere as soon as you walk in the door - feels like "home" straightaway. Care very good - nothing is too much trouble! Staff very friendly and obliging. Rooms very comfortable, (although mine does not get Wi-Fi and I have to go downstairs to use the internet, but I understand this will be rectified sometime in the future). Very clean and facilities very good. Various activities - no danger of getting bored.
The Red House has met all expectations without exception. It has always had a well-respected reputation, and I can confirm that my mother is very happy here.

We have a choice of lovely bedrooms available at The Red House for long-term residential care, including for people living with mild to moderate dementia. Set in a beautiful country house in Yelverton, we're a warm, close-knit home where residents are known as individuals and families are always welcome. Respite stays may also be possible, depending on dates. We'd love to show you around, introduce you to Sarah and the team, and help you find a room that feels just right. Private and local-authority funding enquiries are welcome, subject to individual assessment.
Our activity co-coordinator Helen regularly organises for external entertainment to visit our home and entertain our residents. This week we had an extraordinary visit from Elvis

Sarah has over 11 years of experience in the care sector, having developed a strong passion for supporting others through both her professional and personal life. Her care journey began while looking after her mother and grandfather at home, where she discovered a natural ability and deep commitment to making a positive difference in people’s lives.
Promoted to Registered Manager in October 2023, Sarah has continued to grow as a compassionate and dedicated leader, always putting the well-being of residents at the centre of everything she does.
She finds great satisfaction in seeing the happiness and comfort that quality care brings to residents, describing her work as a way of giving back to older generations. Sarah believes what makes The Red House truly special is its close-knit, family atmosphere, where residents and staff share a positive energy and a genuine sense of community.

Lauren has worked in the care sector for over 11 years, beginning her career at 19, working with people with learning disabilities. From the very start, she developed a strong passion for supporting individuals to live fulfilling lives and improving their overall quality of life.
Promoted to Deputy Manager in October last year, Lauren brings experience, compassion, and dedication to her role. She is committed to ensuring residents feel comfortable, respected, and well supported, while also helping to create a positive environment for the team.
Lauren is passionate about caring for people and finds real fulfilment in helping residents feel happy, comfortable, and valued in their daily lives.
She describes The Red House as having a strong family feel and a true “home away from home” atmosphere. The home is warm, cosy, and comfortable, with a relaxed, non-clinical environment that helps residents feel at ease. Lauren feels this sense of togetherness is what makes The Red House such a special place to live and work.
