They have facilities for relatives to make drinks and have cake if you wish. An amazing garden, well tended to.
The residents have access to craft workshops and other activities. On site hair dresser a couple times a week. Nothing is to much trouble for staff. Would highly recomend to anyone looking for a Nursing Home that The Fleet Dartmouth Devon is the place.

The care staff were absolutely fantastic right to the end.
The facilities are amazing, each resident has an en-suite room, there is a coffee lounge with cake and biscuits which is free to everyone, nice flat and level gardens.
Hair dresser, dental, and sciropody are all included in the monthly fees.
If I have to be cared for in my later years I want to live at The Fleet.

My experience with the fleet care home was beyond expectations. I was always told I could revisit the home since my mothers passing and stop in for a coffee, and as my mothers passing was cremated and I have no grave to visit, not to sound morbid, I would like to thank the home greatly by recommending them to anyone in need of care, as their care to the residents and families nothing but genuine, as shown by their care to me even months after my mothers death. It would be unfair to mention that they always have cake ready for visitors and residents alike, and it is always fresh and delicious. Some honorable mentions are Kelly, ajith, Sam the receptionist, and Glenn the maintenance man, all who's friendly awareness of the situation and humour and effort helped make what was a horrible time more comfortable.

The food is good and varied I am the trouble one as I don't eat enough.
The garden is lovely and I know it was created and maintained by loving volunteer gardeners.
I know the garden was opened last year to much acclaim.
The Fleet is a community and friends are made here by coming to join in the community.
It has as in all communities it's ups and downs but more ups than downs.
The mini bus is such a useful commodity ,the activities team are very good in their role.
I would recommend The Fleet to any body considering care.

My wife's uncle Cliff has been staying at the care home since January and the care, facilities & staff are excellent. Nothing is too much trouble and when we visit we are made to feel very welcome by the staff. They have regular activities for the residents and even have a little coffee shop on the ground floor where the residents and visitors can meet for a drink and a slice of cake.
It's so great to see Cliff being so well looked after and I would 100% recommend this care home.

My uncle, for whom I have LPA for has been a resident of The Fleet for almost 12 months. Sadly his rate of decline due to his Alzheimer's makes each day different.
The McBride floor, dedicated to Dementia and Alzheimer's have to be congratulated on how they handle his ever changing moods and needs. No two days are the same and through their care and commitment they bring a sense of calm to his troubled mind.
I take my hat of to the team who care for him, they give him the best quality of care each day to ensure he feels safe and comfortable, even when his mind tells him otherwise.
I also understand that some days he hasn't had a shave, had a shower, but also know that if he refuses to do any of these things then its not up to the team to force him, its for them to show compassion and care. within a day or two hes back to accepting care again, thanks to the leadership from Sarah.
Thank you!

Choosing a care home for a loved one with Alzheimer's is one of the hardest decisions a family can make, but from the moment we stepped The Fleet, we knew we had found a very special place. The team here doesn't just provide exceptional medical and physical care; they genuinely understand the nuances of memory loss. They treat every resident with immense dignity, patience, and a deep respect for who they are and who they have always been. Here are a few things that makes the home stand out: Exceptional Staff: The caregivers, nurses, and higher members are nothing short of angels. They are remarkably patient, always greeting residents with warm smiles, gentle touches, and a calming presence that works wonders during moments of confusion. Thoughtful Environment: The layout is beautifully designed to be safe, easy to navigate, and soothing. It feels like a warm, vibrant home rather than a facility. The list is endless. A home away from Home.

I visit my good friend (of 25 years) each week. Sometimes he is unshaven and unshowered and oddly dressed. I understand that he has the freedom to refuse help. I sometimes find it difficult to communicate with staff whose English is poor. Do you have a designated person assigned to be responsible for an individual? It might be helpful if the staff 'on duty' were not so often using their mobile phones. At times the noise level in the corridor is too loud. Generally the staff seem supportive and helpful.

Thank you for leaving a review and for meeting with me to discuss your feedback. We value your comments and the opportunity to clarify some of the points raised.As discussed, we support residents in a person-centred way, respecting their choices while encouraging and offering assistance with personal care whenever possible. There are occasions when residents choose to decline support, and we must balance their independence with their wellbeing.
We also discussed communication, and you confirmed that you know your friend's key worker and the Head of Unit who you regularly communicate with outside of your 30 minute weekly visits, which you described as positive.
I would also like to clarify that the devices you see staff using are electronic care-recording pods, not personal mobile phones. These are used to document care throughout the day.
It was encouraging to hear your positive comments about our team being supportive and helpful. Thank you again for the review & meeting with me.
My dad was a very challenging resident and the staff could not have been more kind, capable and compassionate. There is a great 'team' friendly staff vibe. The building and garden are very smart and modern with a light airy feel. The food was delicious! I would not hesitate to recommend The Fleet.

The building itself is kept spotless by the cleaners that perform a difficult task so well, and take a real pride in their work.
The food is A1. In the lounge near the entrance, there is always a supply of delicious home-made cakes along with a bean to coffee machine that visitors are invited to take advantage of.
I have visited friends in other care homes and I must say that the Fleet surpasses them all.
In conclusion, I cannot find a single thing that I feel Would improve the service and management of the Fleet.
So well done!

My mother was offered a place at the Fleet care home for respite care, but then didn't want to go back home. The facilities are a very high standard, but what stands out are the staff. There is a lovely friendly supportive atmosphere which you sense as soon as you walk in. Mum was made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The nurse manager was outstanding in looking after her and organised extra GP visits, home oxygen and complicated prescriptions which required considerable persistence. The care staff did an excellent job and were kind and thoughtful. I and my family were delighted that mum spent her last weeks in this home.

My name is Holly, and I am one of the Care Assistants here at The Fleet. After completing my degree in counselling, I realised I wanted to be more hands-on in supporting people. I have a real passion for resident care and love getting to know each person, helping them stay as independent as possible and live fulfilled, meaningful lives while always respecting their choices, dignity and individuality.

John started work at the Fleet in 2021 as the Maintenance Manager, he comes with a wealth of experience in this field.

Nick along with Sue runs the Laundry here at The Fleet Care Home in Dartmouth. Nick’s job is to ensure that not only is there plenty of bed and table linen and towels on all of the floors but also that all of the residents have their personal clothes washed and returned to them. It’s an important job and both Nick and Sue feel rather proud of their “part of the ship”, having it run really smoothly. When Nick isn’t collecting and distributing, he likes to try and find the time to stop and chat with our residents.
