About St Omer Residential Care

At St Omer Residential Care in Torquay, we provide a warm and genuinely homely environment where older adults can feel safe, supported and valued. We are part of the Torbay community and take real pride in the care we offer to the people who live with us. We support older people with a range of needs, including residential care, dementia care and physical disability. We also offer respite care for those who need a short term stay, whether that is to recover after a period of illness or to give family carers a well earned break. Whatever brings someone to us, we aim to make their time here as comfortable and as personal as possible. Dementia care is something we take seriously. We understand how unsettling it can be for someone living with dementia to move into a new environment, and we work hard to create a calm and familiar atmosphere where residents can feel at ease. Getting to know each person, their history, their preferences and what matters most to them, shapes everything we do. For those living with a physical disability, we think carefully about how we can support independence wherever possible while making sure the right level of assistance is always there when it is needed. We believe good care comes down to relationships. Our team takes time to get to know residents and their families properly, and we encourage family involvement in everyday life here. Open communication matters to us and we always welcome visits and conversations about how we can improve. Torquay is a wonderful place to call home and we feel fortunate to be located here.
