About Moorgate Residential Home

Moorgate Residential Home is a care home in Yelverton, Devon, for older people. We offer permanent places and respite stays. Our work is with the everyday. Helping somebody get washed and dressed without being rushed. Making sure medication is taken on time. Meals people actually want to eat. Support to move safely around the building, and company for those who want it. Where somebody can still manage something themselves, our part is to make that possible rather than to do it for them. Many of the people living here are living with dementia. We keep routines predictable and the surroundings easy to make sense of, and we give conversations the time they need. When speech becomes difficult, we pay attention to everything else a person is telling us. Respite stays matter too. Families looking after a relative at home need rest, and knowing there is somewhere dependable to arrange can make the difference between coping and not. Being on the edge of the moor, we make the most of getting outside, and visitors are genuinely welcome rather than merely permitted. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering a home in this part of Devon, come and see us and form your own view.
