Widecombe House

If you are offered the chance for your loved one to live at Widecombe House - grab it with both hands. You will have peace of mind that they are happy and looked after.

My Mum stayed at Widecombe House for the last 3 years or so of her life. The care was exemplary - the staff really did care and were incredibly patient and doting, including when her dementia became very severe towards the end.

Mum was only at Widecombe for a short time and every single staff member went above and beyond for her and our family. They looked after dad as if he was a resident too ! Dad is disabled and the extraordinary offer from Robert to collect dad in his wheelchair adapted car for Christmas Day lunch meant so much. The whole family felt at home,could come and go whenever we wished and even at busy times we were always welcomed with warm smiles and nothing was too much trouble. Mum had dementia and we hoped with more interaction and stimulation we would see an improvement in her and we did, although sadly just briefly. She stood up from a chair unaided and asked me for a kiss. They sound like tiny things but they were things she hadn't managed to do in over a year before! She clearly felt safe and happy in her environment and I now tell everyone I know that if any of their family require care in the future that they should put Widecombe at the top of their wish list ! Amazing, caring staff.

I would recommend Widecombe House for anyone looking for a good home for their loved ones.

Thank you for looking after my best friend and for making his life so full and happy,

I know he's looked after, cared for, happy and above all safe.

My friend has been a resident at Widecombe House since he recovered from a tragic brain injury, which left him unable to look after himself anymore. The staff at the home are excellent with him; he is very well looked after, and their care and consideration for all his needs have helped him to improve his mobility and confidence. Tim feels happy and safe and enjoys helping whenever he can. I cannot speak highly enough for the friendly atmosphere that is evident at Widecombe House, along with the helpful staff and carers

Family relative initially give a respite placement here and long story short, has stayed here permanently.

From the moment she arrived, she and we as her family were welcomed by all the staff without hesitation.

Our family member and we have been fully supported since she arrived and we have been impressed with the care she has received.

There are numerous activities organized for the residents and regular events in which families are included such as garden parties and fireworks nights.

Family member is diabetic and her blood sugar levels are now under control which they were not when she arrived. Dentist and optician etc appointments are arranged by the staff which is helpful.

Management of the home are available to speak to whenever needed and highly supportive of families.

We are always warmly welcomed whenever we visit.

We count ourselves lucky that our family member was given this placement originally and are very happy with her care at Widecombe House.

Thank you to all

I cannot praise this care home highly enough. My precious mum has lived at Widecombe for over 2 years. The staff are professional respectful dedicated and most of all kind. Mum had been in other care homes before but Widecombe House offers a higher standard of care and dignity. The house is always welcoming, quiet and calm exactly the right atmosphere for loved ones who deserve only the best of care. Thank you to all Widecombe House staff.
