Your Loved One Deserves More Than a Care Home
Devon Care & Living offers a genuinely different approach — small, home-like lodges where your loved one is truly known, cared for, and part of a family. Not just a resident in a system.
Finding the right care is one of the hardest decisions you'll ever make
If you're reading this, you're probably dealing with at least one of these:
- Loneliness & isolationYour loved one is alone too much and it's taking a toll on both of you.
- Safety worries keeping you up at nightFalls, missed medication, accidents — the anxiety never fully goes away.
- Large care homes feel wrongInstitutional, impersonal. You want something better — they deserve something better.
Everything they need. Nothing they don't.
Our lodges are built around one simple idea: your loved one should feel at home, not managed.
A Real Home Environment
En-suite rooms, peaceful gardens, and sunny conservatories. Rooms are unfurnished so your loved one can truly make it their own.
Genuine Companionship
With only 6–9 residents per lodge, our staff actually know your loved one — their preferences, their stories, their moods.
Professional Care, 24/7
Hadley Care are on-site around the clock providing personal care, medication support, and peace of mind every single day.
Home-Cooked Meals
Proper, nutritious meals prepared with care every day. Tailored to dietary needs. No canteens, no shortcuts.
Activities & Social Life
Resident-led activities and days out that keep life engaging. Based on what residents actually enjoy.
Funding Guidance
We help families navigate Attendance Allowance, council funding, and means-tested support to make the process as smooth as possible.
This isn't a care home. It's something better.
Here's what makes us genuinely different from everything else families have looked at.
Only 6–9 residents per lodge
Large care homes have 40, 60, even 100+ residents. Ours have 6–9. Your loved one will never be lost in a crowd.
Carers who actually know your loved one
No revolving door of strangers. Small teams build real relationships. Staff know residents' names, histories, and preferences.
20+ years of experience in Devon
Caring for Devon families since 2005. That trust, experience, and local knowledge matters when it's your loved one.
Family are always welcome
This is your loved one's home. We actively encourage visits and involvement in daily life — any time, any day.
No pressure. Just a friendly conversation to see if we're the right fit.
