About Us

We at Parkview Residential Home offer a warm and welcoming residential care home in the coastal town of Ilfracombe, where older people can settle into a supportive community that feels genuinely like home. Nestled in the heart of Devon's stunning North coast, our setting benefits from the fresh sea air and gentle pace of life that this part of the South West is so well loved for.

Our home is located within the EX postcode area of Ilfracombe, offering residents the comfort of a familiar Devon community whilst remaining easily accessible for visiting family and friends. The surrounding town provides a peaceful backdrop, and residents can enjoy the calming atmosphere that comes with life in a coastal setting.

At Parkview Residential Home, we specialise in caring for older people, including those living with dementia. Our residential care is built around the belief that every person deserves to feel valued, listened to, and supported in the small everyday moments as well as the bigger ones. For families whose loved ones are living with dementia, our team takes time to understand each resident's personal history, preferences, and routines, so that daily life feels reassuring and familiar rather than disorienting. We know how much this matters, both for the person receiving care and for the family members who love them.

We also offer respite care, which can be a real lifeline for families who provide care at home and need a short break, or for older people recovering from a stay in hospital who need a gentle bridge before returning to independent living. Whether the stay is for a few days or a few weeks, we aim to make each guest feel welcomed and cared for from the moment they arrive.

Our most recent CQC inspection in August 2023 rated us as Requires Improvement overall. We want to be open with families about this. Within that inspection we were rated Good for being Effective, Caring, and Responsive, which reflects the everyday warmth, attentiveness, and person centred approach of our team. The areas identified for improvement related to how Safe and how Well led the home is, and we have taken this feedback seriously. Continuous improvement is an ongoing commitment for us, and we welcome open conversations with families about the steps we are taking to strengthen every aspect of what we do.

Choosing a care home for someone you love is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that choice. If you are exploring residential, dementia, or respite care in Ilfracombe or the wider Devon area, we warmly invite you to get in touch with Parkview Residential Home. We would be delighted to answer your questions, share more about daily life here, and arrange a visit so you can see for yourself the community your loved one could become part of.
