A Full and Social Life, Whatever the Day Brings
Moving into supported living should never mean slowing down. Life in our South Devon homes is warm, sociable and full of things to look forward to. Our residents enjoy a wonderful variety of activities for the elderly, designed to keep body and mind active, spark friendships and make every week feel like home.
Because our supported living homes sit alongside our residential care homes, our residents are warmly invited to join in with all the activities and events run at the associated home next door. It's the best of both worlds — the independence of your own space, with a lively, ready-made community whenever you'd like to be part of it.
(The one exception is Bessmount, which runs its own programme of activities for its residents to enjoy.)
