About
Keychange Charity Rose Lawn Care Home is in Sidmouth, East Devon, and is registered for 29 residents. It provides residential care, respite stays and dementia support. The home is run by Key Change Care and is a charity, so the operator reinvests any surplus into care rather than paying it out. Support is available around the clock, and staff handle everyday tasks such as laundry and cooking, leaving residents free to pursue their own interests. Stays can be long-term, a short respite break, or following a hospital discharge, and the team takes time to learn what helps each person feel settled. Staff have specialist training in dementia care, and each resident has a personalised care plan. The Care Quality Commission rates the home Outstanding overall, with Caring and Responsive also rated Outstanding, and Safe and Effective rated Good.
