About Cheverells Care Home

Cheverells Care Home is in Bideford, Devon. We provide residential care for older people, including people with a physical disability and people with visual or hearing impairment. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. We aim for an ordinary, comfortable household. Residents get up when they wake, eat what they actually enjoy and spend their days as they choose. Some are sociable and are downstairs from breakfast onwards. Others would rather have their own room and quiet. Both are perfectly reasonable. Where someone has a physical disability or reduced sight or hearing, we pay attention to the practical details. Equipment that suits the person, a layout that stays predictable, things kept where people expect to find them, and staff who adapt how they communicate rather than expecting the person to manage. Being helped more than you want is its own kind of loss. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather be upfront about that than leave you to find it elsewhere. We know which areas were raised, there is work under way, and we are happy to go through any of it. Please come and visit Cheverells, ask us directly what has changed, and judge the home on what you see.
