About Primley House

Primley House is a residential care home in Paignton, providing care for older people. We also welcome guests for respite stays, whether to give a family carer a break or to help somebody get their confidence back after a spell in hospital. We are a residential home rather than a nursing home, so life here is domestic in scale. People choose when to get up, where to spend the day and what they eat, and help with washing, dressing, medication and mobility is given when it is wanted, discreetly and without taking over. What makes a home work is a team that stays. When carers know somebody properly, they notice quickly when things change, they know what lifts a low mood, and families are not forever repeating themselves to new faces. Being by the sea suits our residents. Many have known this coast for years, and getting out for a walk or a cup of tea somewhere is part of ordinary life rather than an organised outing. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at residential care in Paignton, please come and see us, stay for a cup of tea and take your time over the decision.
