Person Centred Care in our Plymouth Care Home
All of our residents are treated as the individuals they are, and naturally, each individual has different needs. Our approach to care is bespoke and person-centred. We strive to provide each resident with as much or as little support as they need.
Our all-encompassing care approach starts before residents even move into Ernstell House - our dedicated team will take great care to find out everything they need to know from our new residents and their families.
From this stage, we can make sure that we completely understand what level of support is required, and can make it so everything is ready upon our new resident's arrival.
At Ernstell House, it is crucial to us that every resident feels they are at home here. We understand how challenging a transition into a care home can be, so we do everything we can to cultivate a comfortable and relaxing environment.
Our Clinical Team are always ready for if resident's care needs start changing, and residents and their families can rest easy knowing that the team will help them through any short or long-term challenges.

We aim to be the best care home in Devon, and have spent a long time creating a community of residents here who have real, genuine connections with each other, as well as their neighbours in the local vicinity.
Through our unique person centred care approach, we are able to identify how residents want to spend their time. This way we know what they're interested in, and can help them to keep enjoying all the special things in their lives that make them happy.
Ernstell House is a place where residents are encouraged to be as independent as possible - to enjoy their favourite hobbies and pastimes, discover all kinds of new interests, and continue socialising and building meaningful friendships.
Person centred care works because it is bespoke, genuine and builds on our primal instincts of caring for our fellow person. Our philosophy empowers our residents to create a life they truly enjoy, with our support.
