About
Beaconville Nursing Home sits in Ivybridge, within the South Hams area of Devon, and has provided dementia care for more than 30 years. The home is registered for 36 beds and offers nursing and dementia care. Its approach centres on the individual rather than the condition, and the home encourages residents to personalise their rooms with items from home, such as photographs and pictures.
Communal areas are bright and airy, with activity spaces and quiet corners that overlook the gardens. Residents receive monthly GP reviews and health screenings, with access to chiropody, dentists, speech and language therapy and occupational therapy as needed, and a Registered Nurse reviews care needs each month, involving families in decisions. The Care Quality Commission rates the home Good overall, with Good ratings for safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led care.
