This is a lovely place more like a hotel than a care home. I have experienced a couple of 'normal homes which did not come close to bayards court. This is more like a top class hotel than a care home. For instance there are separate staff serving in the dining room. Not using the carers to serve the food the ratio of carers to residents even when full are excellent. Without exception all the carers are excellent and very empathetic. In fact all staff eg. Reception are extremely nice. And very helpful indeed. If for any reason one needs to be using a care home this is very restful and not at all institutional , beautifully appointed.
We are incredibly grateful for your wonderful feedback and for appreciating the unique lifestyle we strive to create at Bayards Court.

I’m a qualified Registered Nurse with over 30 years' experience in the care sector.I began my nursing career in Liverpool in 1988 and went on to spend a decade at King Edward VII Hospital in London, where I had the privilege of caring for high-profile patients, including members of the Royal Family.
In 2003, I moved to Devon and was appointed ward manager at Torbay Hospital before transitioning to the private care sector in 2007. I’ve held senior roles within care home organisations, including Home Manager positions, and most recently held the role of Director of Operations.
I joined Vivant Care because of its core values of enriching lives and passion for delivering extraordinary living, every day. I’m excited to bring these principles to life at Bayards Court, supporting residents to lead meaningful lives and inspiring my team to flourish.

Hayley Maynard, Bayards Court’s Deputy Manager, is a registered nurse with over 25 years of experience in the health and social care sector.
She began her career in 1994 as a Healthcare Assistant on the orthopaedic wards at Torbay Hospital. In 1999, she moved into a supervisory role at Sifam’s printing company, working evenings to balance family life while raising her daughter and son.Hayley returned to Torbay Hospital in 2003 and later began her nurse training through Plymouth University, qualifying in 2012. She then worked as a registered nurse in orthopaedics before spending five years as a Community Nurse across the Torbay area, developing strong autonomous and complex care skills.
In 2017, she re-joined orthopaedics as a Sister in the High Dependency Unit and later moved to the fracture clinic in 2023 as a Clinical Nursing Lead, supporting staff and overseeing clinical processes.
In 2024, Hayley entered the private sector as a Deputy Manager in a 30-bed service supporting residents with physical disabilities and complex needs. She continued her practice in a Torquay nursing home the following year before choosing to take on a role where she could create a meaningful impact.
Hayley is excited to join the Vivant Care team and looks forward to bringing her experience, compassion, and leadership to the role, supporting residents, families, and colleagues alike.

Essam is our Guest Services Manager. For more than two decades, he built his career in some of the world's most recognised hospitality destinations.
He has opened 11 resorts across the world, led large-scale operations, worked with royalty and helped bring ambitious hospitality visions to life. That passion is what ultimately led him to Bayards Court, Vivant Care's first home in Dartmouth.

As Concierge, Simon is often one of the first people residents and their families meet.
Whether welcoming new residents, arranging appointments, organising transport, serving refreshments or simply taking time to chat, his role is built around anticipating needs and creating an experience that feels effortless.
For Simon, the biggest difference from traditional hospitality is the opportunity to build genuine relationships.
"In restaurants and hotels, people come and go. Here, you really get to know people. I enjoy listening, and I'm fascinated by people's stories. Getting to chat with residents and learn about their lives is something I'm really excited about."
Those everyday conversations are what make the role so rewarding.
"I just like seeing people happy. I always like to go the extra mile and make sure people have everything they need. If they're happy, then I know I've done my job, and that makes me proud."

From the outside, Sarah’s role brings together a lot of moving parts. Enquiries. First conversations. Show arounds. Following up with people at the right moment.
In reality, it comes down to how well you connect.
“It’s about being a people person,” she explains. “You need to listen, understand, and build relationships and trust quickly. Every conversation matters, especially those first ones.”
That ability to connect is what shapes her day. From responding to new enquiries to guiding people through their first visit and keeping in touch afterwards, Sarah is there at the points that matter most in someone’s decision.
“Every day is different. You’re always thinking on your feet, finding new ways to make things work for the people around you.”

As a care assistant, my favourite part is making a connection with the people I support and chatting to them about their life choices. I find care, in general, a very rewarding job.

Every day is different, with new challenges. I feel blessed to be working with a fantastic team of people who genuinely care about each other and...

I feel blessed to be working with a fantastic team of people who genuinely care about each other and work well together, so every day is a positive experience.

I love coming to work each day in the knowledge that delivering exceptional service genuinely improves the quality of life for the people around me.
