Park House is the more dependent unit of Highlands Care Home. It is a large house of the early-Georgian style with a more recent rear extension in the St Leonard’s area of Exeter. A range of village shops in Magdalen Road is just around the corner and an Italian-style garden provides a summer resource area.

There is room for 26 residents, accommodated in 22 single rooms and two twins. A passenger lift services all bedrooms and living areas. The spacious layout allows personal, individual care which is fundamental to the concept of positive mental stimulation - so vital for maintaining the maximum intellectual potential. With this in mind, the support is always directed at ensuring that the mental well-being and activity of those in our care, as well as their privacy and dignity, is a prime consideration. Any personal hobbies or activities, as well as those organised by the staff, are positively encouraged.

Although not a nursing home, it is our intention that we should offer long-term care as far as our capabilities and the support of the community nursing service and General Practitioners will allow. To that end, staff are trained in the procedures of full, personal care and equipment for safe manual handling and skin care management is a priority.

Since we believe that it is so important to encourage personal responsibility and decision making in so far as residents are able, the atmosphere is deliberately kept very informal and relaxed. As far as possible, decisions about a resident’s personal habits and how they organise their daily lives are left to them themselves since this encourages their independence and mental activity - vital in people with some impairment in that area already.
