About

Amberley House in Plympton, Plymouth, is a care home registered for 42 beds. The home has more than 50 years of experience caring for older people and offers residential, dementia and respite care. Stays may be long term, short term for convalescence, or for respite and holidays. The home's stated approach centres on individual preferences, with staff given time to attend to small details and residents able to choose whether to spend time with others who share their interests. Residents are encouraged to make their own decisions, take sensible risks, choose from a range of options and be left alone when they wish.

The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2019 report, and Good for safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led care.
