About Dove Court Care Home

Dove Court Care Home is a residential care home in Seaton, Devon, providing care for older people and for people with physical disabilities, along with shorter respite stays. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We mention it early because it reflects a set of fairly unremarkable commitments rather than anything clever. Staff who stay with us for years, so that people are cared for by faces they know well. Days that belong to the person living them. Food that people actually want to eat. Families treated as part of the household and able to say when something is not right. The care covers help with washing and dressing, prompting and administering medication, meals cooked on the premises, support with mobility and the many small things that become difficult alone, given in a way that leaves somebody their privacy and their dignity. Seaton and the coast around it are home for most of the people living here, and family are welcome whenever they want to come. An outstanding rating is a standard to keep rather than a prize to display. Please ring us if you would like to visit.
