A game of Go Fish at Doveridge
Margaret and Mary enjoyed a few games of Go Fish with their afternoon tea and cake.
Arcot House Care Home is the most recent acquisition of Doveleigh Care Ltd. 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.
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.
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.
All of our homes are rated “Oustanding” by our regulators, the Care Quality Commission, a feat, we believe, achieved by no other care home group in the United Kingdom. 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 eight activities and interests coordinators to cover the needs of the three 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…
“Doveridge has been amazing looking after my father for around 10 years his mental and physical state has decreased over the last couple of years but the home has been supporting him through everything from dementia to covid I have never had a bad word to say”
