Warberries Nursing Home

General information

Margaret Rose Care provides 24 hour residential nursing care in South Devon. We are Palm Court Nursing Home in Dawlish, Warberries Nursing Home and the Nightingales in Torquay.

So how are we different? Well this is the bit where we tell you about our philosophy. We know that, if you’re considering a nursing home for a relative, it’s a really tricky time and you need to know what each home can offer and how they care for their residents. If you’ve looked at the philosophy of every home that has a website, they will all pretty much use the same phrases:

• Individualised Care
• Maintaining independence and dignity
• Providing choices

These are very laudable sentiments, and ones that we certainly share at Margaret Rose Care. But, we also want to move away from standardised phrases and tell you a little more about us…

• We are not a "quiet library" environment..... laughter, a bit of noise; the
everyday coming and going of people is an important part of what we offer.
• Giving people something to get up for is really important.
• We don't wear fancy uniforms or badges.
• Fun and humour are permitted.
• Bringing life into the home is something we talk a lot about.

We've been caring for people for over 30 years, provide a really high standard of care (see our CQC reports for proof of this) and are known for nursing people with really complex conditions, but we don’t believe that means treating residents as ‘numbers’, ‘patients’ or wrapping them up in cotton wool.

We really do want to get to know the people who live at our homes and we ask residents and their loved ones to tell us about their lives, what they have done, important dates and what they do and don’t like. This information can help to ‘bring a resident alive’ to us, helping us to treat them as individuals and with the dignity and respect they deserve. We want to forge friendly relationships with relatives, to involve you and to know your thoughts about the kind of care your relative needs. We want you to be part of the Margaret Rose family too, and feel at home here. If you like our philosophy, please visit http://www.devoncarehomes.org for more information on our homes, or contact us at any time on (01803) 294563 for an informal chat. We look forward to talking to you soon!
