Heanton Nursing Home is registered for all care categories and stands in the peaceful village of Heanton Punchardon in the heart of Devon. The home is set in grounds overlooking the estuary, with views of the surrounding countryside.
Evolve Care Group recognises that each individual is unique. The approach of the team at Heanton is person-centred and they uphold high standards in privacy, dignity, independence and choice.
Heanton Nursing Home has a lot to offer, including excellent accommodation and lovely home-cooked food, which helps to make the residents, fondly referred to as family members, life pleasant and comfortable.
The friendly and highly experienced team have undertaken intensive training, which has resulted in a revolutionary model of care being implemented at the home. Termed the household model, this approach to care has its origins in research completed in Australia and North America.
The model is about creating smaller communities or families within a home and breaking away from institutional approaches to care. This results in a better quality of life for the person receiving the service and their family.

Funding & Fees
At Heanton Nursing Home, we understand that no two people are the same. Everyone is unique, with their own preferences, needs and lifestyle, and we believe their care should reflect that. Because of this, our fees are tailored to each person and their individual requirements.
This personalised approach continues after someone moves in. We understand that people’s needs can change over time, and their care and support may need to change with them. If this affects their fee, we will take the time to explain what has changed and talk everything through openly, clearly and sensitively with them and the people closest to them.
The prices listed are therefore a guide. To arrange a personal assessment, please use the call or email buttons above to contact our support team.

Visiting
- As part of their household model of care, they don’t believe in having set visiting hours – you should be able to visit your relatives or friends whenever you like, just as you would if they were living in their own home. You are welcome to visit day and night, and the team encourage you to feel comfortable and treat it as an extension of your loved one’s home. They recommend calling in advance so they can make sure that it doesn’t clash with any trips out or doctors appointments.
Parking
- Heanton Nursing Home has a large carpark, overlooking stunning views of the Devon countryside.

My husband has been in Heanton nursing home for over 2 years. He is very well looked after. I can sleep at night knowing he is cared for.

The care and staff are fantastic and do a wonderful job.
I have seen the care home and improve and I do like to extra rooms and corridor for sitting in.

The residents are well fed and I particularly like the fruit and cheese served in the morning. I love the new kitchen upstairs. My only grumble - too much Radio 1 type music, should also play the older war-time songs as well.
I think it is a very caring place. The staff relate to my partner with dignity, respect and kindness. The ethos of the home is very person-centred, where they really try to be aware of and respond to each individual. I am very impressed but relieved with their high standard of care.

My wife came to Heanton in May 2017. She is much more settled here than at home. Family visit and take her for walks.
Everyone and everything is really nice.

I am very happy with the way that my husband is treated at Heaton, with the care and the way he is treated by the staff. Nothing is too much trouble and they are always smiling.

My mother has only been at Heanton for a few weeks. I find the staff very caring and attentive towards my mother and I am very happy that all her needs are met.
