Bramble Down Nursing Home is part of Peninsula Care Homes. It is situated in Denbury, a quiet village located between Totnes and Newton Abbot.
Bramble Down offers the best care to those in the latter stage of life, ensuring all physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological needs are met and offering around the clock support for residents and their loved ones. Provides care for individuals with more complex healthcare needs and those who require the supervision from a dedicated team of registered nurses and carers.
Bramble Down is registered to accommodate 40 residents in a mix of single and double rooms, although it predominately uses rooms only for single occupancy.

It has an inner courtyard that has a water fountain and bird tables.
Individuals living at Bramble Down choose their activity programme with the activity co-ordinators. In-house activities include arts and crafts, gardening projects, iPad sessions and games. The home is working towards accreditation with the Eden Alternative – a philosophy to ensure individuals never experience boredom, helplessness or loneliness.

From the moment I walked through the door, I knew this was the right home. It felt warm and welcoming and smelled clean. The nurse who showed us around was very experienced and inspired great confidence. I witnessed her dealing with a slightly difficult resident and the resident was treated with...
I researched many homes before choosing this one and have been very impressed. Yes, it is expensive, but the level and quality of care makes it good value for money.
A very good care home. Lovely food and nice, caring and happy atmosphere. Beautiful garden to sit in in the summertime. Christmas time as made more enjoyable for everyone with lots of pre-Christmas activities. Well done to all.

My wife has now been at Bramble Down Nursing Home for 2 and a half years and having settled in has been very happy under the circumstances and regards this as her home. Being able to visit her at most times has helped me and her, cope with the situation - the standard of activities and entertainment has been excellent and varied - I work in the voluntary sector and have recommended Bramble Down Nursing Home on many occasions - keep up the good work.
I find the staff very friendly and helpful. I always feel welcome. My wife has much improved health since commencing her stay at Bramble Down. Always greeted with a smile. Nothing is too much trouble, and I would recommend Bramble Down to anyone. Very good.

I began my career in care at 13, helping in the kitchen at my local care home. I was often found chatting with residents and listening to their stories instead! Those early experiences sparked a passion for care that has stayed with me ever since.
I've been a Registered Manager for over 10 years, including the last five with Peninsula Care Homes.
What I love most is building relationships with residents, families and colleagues. At Bramble Down, I'm proud of our welcoming atmosphere and the team who make it such a special place. I believe that when colleagues feel supported, valued and encouraged to grow, residents benefit too.
For me, good care is about knowing each person, respecting their choices and making sure they feel genuinely at home.
