Barchester Tyspane Care Home

It's always nice to see the residents looking happy and enjoying the lovely gardens.

I moved into Tyspane on 4th Feb 2026 the moment I arrived I was made to feel very welcome. The staff are all very friendly and give a very good standard of care. The activities are very good and varied every day the reception area allows one to have a tea/coffee in a very nice area with free cake. I can recommend Tyspane to any one looking for a care home

It suited my mother's needs very well

I can finally sleep at night knowing she's well cared for. All the staff are wonderful to her

My nan recently stayed for 2 weeks respite. She was very well looked after by all members of staff. My nan really enjoyed taking part in all the different activities that were going on, especially the art classes. There was a few things my nan was missing from her home, for example her bird feeder outside, so one lovely maintenance man happily put one by her door with no hesitation. Nothing was very too much.

Our dealings with Barchester Tyspane Care Home at Braunton have been very positive.

My 95-yo recently bereaved father moved from residential care to Tyspane in September.

His day to day experience is massively improved over the previous home in almost every way, as is mine as his primary contact.

Staffing levels and proficiency are excellent. Everyone always seems to be very smily, friendly and helpful. When the occasional problem does arise (as it inevitably does anywhere), there is a genuine desire to understand the issue and to resolve the situation. (As the relative, this is enormously reassuring, as I know we won't get "fobbed off", and if he ever did feel that way, that the staff and I would work together to get to the bottom of it and sort it out.)

My father has found the food very much to his liking, and raves about the quality of the ingredients, the menus, and the cooking.

The physiotherapy team is a huge plus. Babs has got my father's puffy legs, ankles and feet down to a sensible size through targeted exercises.

I could go on, but out of room!

We are very pleased with all aspects of the care & facilities in Tyspane, The staff are very efficient & friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. We are especially impressed with all the activities & outings which they arrange. Carry on the good work!

The staff took care of my Mum while she was resident at Tyspane exceptionally well. We were more than happy with the level of care and attention she received. They couldn't have been kinder when she passed away

Engagement by management, non-existent, despite 150 visits.

I came to visit my Grandfather on a Monday afternoon. I found him in the lounge enjoying the karaoke. It was so lovely to see the residents so happy. The staff that I met during my visit were all very friendly. The reception staff offered my a drink and slice of cake when I arrived. The Home has a very welcoming feel and I can see it was the right choice for my Grandfather.

My cousin is being supported palliatively in this home. I recently watched a video on social media shared by my cousin regarding a trip to the beach that was facilitated by the home. I wanted to say that it was amazing to see and that I could see the joy that my cousin and her close family were able to share in during this experience. It will be a memory that will be treasured forever by all involved. As a fellow Social Care Worker I want to commend you for what you have done. Keep making worlds for people.

My sister is living here due to a terminal illness. She is a mum to a 7 year old and we cannot fault the care from all of the staff.

My niece is treated like family, is regularly invited to join all the residents and knows most of the staff by name.

All of the staff have got to know my sister as a person and you can tell they care about their residents deeply. Just yesterday they took my sister to the local Beach and a couple of the staff came along on their day off to spend their day with us.

I cannot recommend Tyspane enough, it feels like a huge family home.

This Care Home is brilliant the care my wife gets is excellent. The staff are very experienced efficiencies there nothing is too much trouble. The manager came and done our assessment so we have met the manager and the manager has been in and seen my wife on numerous occasions. There is free tea and coffee and cake for residence and their guest. This is an excellent Care Home it's got in-house physio and the doctor goes and sees the patients once a week, which I think is amazing.

I have been visiting a friend at Tyspane for a few weeks. The home has a welcoming feel from the minute you walk through the door. I sat with my friend in the lounge and the activities offered were amazing. It was very clean and smelt fresh. The staff were very helpful and I was offered coffee and delicious cake. I had a lovely conversation with the manager, she was very approachable and informative. I would definately recommend this home.

I would like to give a 5 star to uou all.!

Lovely home with brilliant staff! I would highly recommend it. I often see regular social media updates showcasing a variety of engaging activities, such as visits from family, gardening sessions, and fun events that bring everyone together. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, making it a perfect place for residents to feel at home. The staff truly go above and beyond to ensure the comfort and happiness of each resident, fostering a sense of community that is heartwarming. It's evident that they prioritise not just care, but also companionship and joy, creating a vibrant environment where everyone can thrive and enjoy their time together.

A well-run home, all credit to the manager, assistant manager and staff

Kind regards.

I have co-power of attorney for a friend who has now been at Barchester Tyspane Care Home for five months. She settled in well and I found that the staff were always on hand to answer any questions we had on any subject. Her room is comfortable and well-furnished with a nice view of the garden. I imagined that she would spend most of her time in her room because she values her privacy but, in fact, she has loved going to the lounge during the day and participating in the various social activities. On my most recent visit, there was an opera/classical singer who put on a fabulous show. My friend looked so happy and was singing along. The staff served food and refreshments during the performance and engaged with all the residents, singing or dancing with them and making it a really special event. This is the norm for the staff - nothing seems too much trouble and they look to engage at all times. My experience of the management, admin, reception and nursing/care staff has been extremely good.
