About Mapleton

We are Mapleton, a residential care home in Newton Abbot, Devon. We support older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Because we support people with quite different needs, we plan around individuals rather than running one routine. For residents living with dementia that usually means finding out who somebody has been and building the day around it, because knowing a person's history tells us more than any list of symptoms does. For autistic residents it means predictability, a sensory environment that works, and being told what will happen and finding that it turns out to be true. Communication is where we start with anyone new. How does this person make themselves understood, and how do we make ourselves understood to them. We settle that early and we check it is working rather than assuming. Choice runs through the day as far as it can. People decide how they spend their time, and where a decision needs support we support it rather than taking it over. For health needs beyond our registration we work alongside district nurses and GPs, and respite guests are assessed and welcomed exactly as permanent residents are. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
