Meaningful Activities at Doveridge

Arcot House is a grand Georgian manor house in the beautiful town of Sidmouth that was originally converted into an old peoples home in honour of war veterans. Arcot House is registered for 28 elderly residents. The home was also awarded “Care Home of the Year” at the 2017 National Care Awards and was also shortlisted as one of only 5 finalists in the 2020 awards.
Dove Court is a beautiful, genteel care home set high up on the hillside with stunning views looking over the Axe valley towards Axmouth and out over Lyme Bay. The home is set out over three floors. On the first floor there are 10 bedrooms, of which 6 are en-suite. There is also a separate assisted bathroom and toilet.
Doveridge Care Home is situated in the friendly town of Colyton, also known as the most rebellious town in Devon. The building itself was originally a farm house before it was adapted in to a home for the elderly. Doveridge was bought by Doveleigh in 1996 who since extended it to its present size.
Dove Lodge is an aesthetically linked pair of villas, which has lovely garden areas and plenty of parking space for those who drive. Within the home it is registered for 31 residents, and all rooms have private ensuite facilities. Furniture is available in each room; however, you can have your own furniture if required.
At Doveleigh Care Ltd we specialise in outstanding care for the elderly. This has been recognised by the fact that we were awarded “Care Home Group of the Year” at the 2017 National Care Awards and for each of the past 9 years carehome.co.uk has rated us as one of the Top Twenty Care Home Groups in the country.
3 of our homes are rated “Outstanding” by our regulators, the Care Quality Commission, which we are very proud of. Our aims are to make sure that each and every one of our residents feels fully cared for and supported throughout the day and night, whilst always safeguarding their privacy, dignity and individuality.
Residents family and friends are welcomed and encouraged to visit. We feel it is vital that our residents are able to continue with their social lives whilst we support them with their care needs. All care staff within the homes will be appropriately qualified to deliver the highest standard of care. A continuous staff training programme is implemented to ensure that these high standards are maintained in line with the latest development in Care Practices as may be laid down in appropriate Legislation, Regulations and by the Care Quality Commission.
Doveleigh Care Ltd employs eleven activities and interests coordinators to cover the needs of the four homes. The coordinators will arrange activities varying from trips out in the Dove Bus, or in either of our smaller vehicles (Dove Bugs) to the sea side, gardens, theatre etc. or in house activities such as coffee mornings amongst many others…
