We understand that choosing a care home in Devon is a deeply personal decision, and we’re here to help you or your loved one settle into a comfortable routine with dignity, respect and kindness.
Our team is committed to providing high-quality support that reflects each resident’s unique life story, preferences and needs, whether you’re looking for long-term residential care in Devon, specialist dementia care in Devon, or short-term respite care in Devon. Every member of staff shares the same goal, to create a place where people feel truly at home, valued and supported in living life their way.
Alexander House Care Home has been thoughtfully created to ensure our residents’ wellbeing, fostering an environment of comfort, contentment, and a strong sense of belonging. Our residents are at the heart of our home, and we strive to empower our residents to live life their way.
Our residential care in Devon is designed for individuals who may find everyday life more challenging to manage alone but still wish to maintain independence and personal choice. From the first conversation to the development of your care plan, we take time to understand your routines, preferences and goals. This personalised approach means that the support you receive always fits your needs while encouraging autonomy and confidence.
Residents benefit from compassionate staff who are available around the clock, offering assistance with personal care, mobility support and routine tasks, as well as encouragement to continue enjoying cherished pastimes. Living here means being part of a supportive community where friendships grow naturally, daily life feels balanced, and every day offers opportunities for wellbeing.
For people living with dementia, our specialist dementia care in Devon is delivered with sensitivity, structure and deep respect for individual experience. We know that dementia affects every person differently, and our team has the training and expertise to respond with patience, understanding and creativity. We focus on building meaningful connections, fostering comfort and preserving dignity in every interaction.
Our approach includes tailored activities, memory-friendly environments and therapeutic engagement designed to support both mental wellbeing and overall quality of life. Residents are encouraged to maintain familiar routines and take part in social experiences that are both safe and fulfilling. We work together with families to ensure continuity of care and respond to changing needs with empathy and professionalism.
We understand that family carers sometimes need a break, or that short-term support can be the right choice after hospital treatment or during periods of recovery. Our respite care in Devon offers a flexible stay that feels reassuring and comfortable, with the same high standards of care that our long-term residents enjoy.
During a respite stay, you or your loved one becomes part of our daily life, with access to personalised support, good company, nutritious meals and the chance to experience everything our home has to offer. This short-term option gives families peace of mind while providing residents with an enjoyable, well-supported time in our welcoming setting.
