About Us

We at Pippins Residential Care Home offer a warm and welcoming residential care setting in the heart of Paignton, providing dedicated older person care for those who need a little extra support whilst maintaining their independence and dignity.

Nestled within the TQ postcode area of Paignton, our home enjoys the gentle charm of this much loved Torbay coastal town. The South West location offers a peaceful backdrop for daily life, where residents can enjoy familiar surroundings and the comforting rhythm of a community known for its mild climate and friendly spirit.

Our focus is firmly on residential care for older people, which means we are here for those who no longer wish to manage the demands of running a home alone but who do not require nursing intervention. In practice, this translates to thoughtful daily support with the things that matter most, such as personal care, medication, nutritious meals, and companionship. We understand that moving into a care home is a significant step, and we work closely with each resident and their loved ones to ensure the transition feels natural, respectful, and truly person centred. Family members can take comfort in knowing their relative is supported by a team committed to treating every person as an individual, with their own story, preferences, and routines.

The Care Quality Commission rated us Good overall at our most recent inspection in July 2024, with Good ratings across the Safe, Effective, Caring, and Well-led domains. We are particularly proud to have been rated Outstanding for being Responsive, a recognition that reflects our genuine commitment to tailoring care around the changing needs of each resident. For families, this independent endorsement offers reassurance that the care provided here meets and, in important areas, exceeds national standards.

If you are exploring residential care options in Paignton for yourself or a loved one, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please do get in touch to arrange a visit, meet our team, and see for yourself the warm, supportive atmosphere we work hard to create every day at Pippins.
