Day-to-day

The daily care programme is organised as a response to residents’ individual and combined needs.

• At The Devonshire we provide meals which enable residents, where possible, to decide what, where and when they eat.
• We offer a programme of leisure activities from which to choose
• We help residents to retain flexibility in their daily routines so that they, to some extent, manage their own timetables whilst fitting into communal timetables as well.
• We respond to residents intellectual, artistic and spiritual values and practices of every resident
• We respect our residents religious, ethnic and cultural diversity
• We encourage them to make new friends, have personal liaisons and enjoy communicating with existing friends.

We are able to offer the following services:-

• Laundry - is done on a daily basis so it is unnecessary to bring large amounts of clothes. Please mark all clothes with resident’s name.
