About Burridge Farm

Burridge Farm is a residential care home near Crediton in Devon, supporting adults with a learning disability or autism, including younger adults. We offer permanent places and respite stays. Being in the Devon countryside shapes how life works here. There is space, there is outdoor work for those who want it, and there is quiet for those who need it. For a good many of the people who live with us, that combination matters more than anything we could write in a policy. We also make sure that being rural does not mean being cut off, so getting into Crediton and the wider area for shops, appointments, work and friendships is part of the ordinary week. People here decide how their own days run. Staff support the practical side and step back from the parts somebody can manage alone or wants to learn. Where a person is building skills, whether cooking, managing money, travelling independently or holding down a placement, we go at their pace. Communication gets close attention, because understanding somebody properly is what allows them to be in charge of their own life rather than have it organised around them. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking for a permanent place or a respite stay in Devon, please contact us and come and have a look at the place.
