About
Cann House Care Home is a country house in Plymouth, South West England, with 62 registered beds. The building dates from 1863 and sits close to Derriford and the Nuffield Hospital, on the edge of the village of Tamerton Foliot. The home stands in around nine acres of established gardens and lawns, and the grounds are laid out level throughout, so they are accessible to people using wheelchairs. Families are welcome to walk the grounds together. The home has good public transport links and a car park for visitors.
Cann House provides person-centred nursing and residential care, taking account of each resident's physical, psychological, spiritual and social needs. It offers long-term care, so residents are not required to move if their health needs change. The Care Quality Commission rates the home Requires Improvement overall, with Good grades for Effective, Caring and Responsive, and Requires Improvement for Safe and Well-led (report published 2025).
