Care Homes in Exeter

In Exeter, you’ll find a wonderful blend of care homes providing high-quality care, from long-term residential support to more complex nursing care aimed at those living with conditions such as Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis. Exeter homes are often supported by healthcare facilities such as The Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital for a fully-rounded care experience.

Whatever you need, there are trusted providers operating in this city, including Barchester Healthcare and Elizabeth Finn Homes, who manage The Lodge, an ‘Outstanding’ rated care home in the heart of the city. In fact, every care home listed above is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and carefully vetted by our team of in-house Care Experts - who have direct experience in social care and how care homes operate on a daily basis. They assess homes on safety, the quality of facilities, and how well care is personalised.

Care homes across Exeter vary in style and setting. Some focus on creating a familiar, homely environment with consistent care teams and a strong community feel. Others offer luxury touches like private dining areas, on-site salons, landscaped gardens, and lounges for social events.

Many also welcome couples, with spacious suites or adjoining rooms designed to support shared living, while some have been specifically designed with families in mind - with visiting lounges and multi-purpose communal areas. Family-friendly care planning is also common, with regular updates and flexible visiting hours.

At Lottie, we understand that every family’s situation is unique. Whether you're looking for immediate availability or are planning for the future, our Care Experts are here to guide you with free, tailored advice and support. They can also create a curated, free list of care homes in your area, tailored to any specific needs.
