About
Pottles Court is a small care home on Pottles Lane in Exminster, a village near Exeter, with space for up to 17 residents. It supports people living with dementia, from mild to advanced, using calm daily routines and familiar faces. Each day is planned around what individual residents enjoy, so some prefer busier days and others prefer quiet, and a dedicated companion worker arranges group activities, one-to-one time and quiet company.
The home has bright shared rooms, quieter rooms for rest and a garden, and residents can move between these spaces as they wish. Meals are cooked from scratch each day, including traditional hot dinners and homemade puddings. The Care Quality Commission rates Pottles Court Outstanding overall, with Outstanding grades for Caring and for Well-led.
