Life at Brandon Care

About Brandon House

Brandon House enjoys privacy tucked away behind leafy trees and glorious grounds. Located in the sought-after avenues of Exmouth with close proximity to both the seafront and town centre. Brandon offers a warm and caring atmosphere in a wonderful traditional setting.

The Property

Brandon house is a delightful property which has been thoughtfully modernised and extended to provide comfortable, charming accommodation. The property is a large, detached house set within an acre of gardens. The property dates back to 1902, constructed of brick under a pitched slate roof.

The accommodation is split over two floors with lifts providing easy access to all areas of the building. As part of the extensive modernisation programme the property has received two extensions to the original building. Both extensions are two storeys and have been thoughtfully designed both inside and out to maintain the aesthetics and character of the original building. The first of the extensions being built in 1984 and the second being built in 2002, allowing the home to provide high quality living accommodation for up to 35 people.

The Gardens

The home is set within an acre of gardens which have been landscaped to provide beautiful areas of tranquility around the home. The main garden is laid to lawn with flower beds that are stocked with a variety of herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees.

There are plenty of areas for sitting and enjoying the garden from the terrace.  To the front of the home there is an enclosed court yard garden, offering a wonderful arrangement of potted plants and trees, with tables to sit and enjoy a cup of tea in the summer months, some alfresco dining.

The Accommodation

The accommodation and living areas within the home are elegantly designed and furnished for all to enjoy and socialise with family, friends and visitors.

The accommodation is split between ground floor and first floor levels, with a combination of stairs and passenger lifts providing easy access. All bedrooms are of generous proportions with full en-suite facilities, assisted bathing is also available using our four specially equipped bathrooms. Each room has TV, a private telephone line and a nurse call system. All rooms are furnished to a high standard although residents are encouraged to bring personal items  such as pictures, ornaments and pieces of furniture.

The communal lounges are situated on the ground floor, giving views across our gardens, where residents may choose to join in the activities, watch TV, listen to music, or simply sit and enjoy each other’s company.

Community

We are proud of the communities within our homes. There are many celebrations, activities and events taking place. So that we can share these with family and friends we run a Facebook page for each of the homes, where we post pictures and videos. The pages act as a blog of daily events within the homes.

What our families say about us "I would like to thank everyone at Sheridan on behalf of my mum, for the wonderful way that she was cared for. She was treated with love and care, and was able to preserve her dignity right up until the end. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her carers, and her smile when they entered the room said it all! She told me that she was lucky to be living in such a friendly, happy and safe place." Mrs W Healey
"My mother has had excellent care since she moved into Brandon House. We could not wish for better carers who are friendly, helpful and treat the residents with dignity. There is a good range of activities which are both physically and mentally stimulating. I could not have chosen a better home for my mother who is very happy with her care and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone else." What our families say about us Diane B What our families say about us "At the age of 100, my father made the reluctant move to Sheridan House. It has proved to be an excellent decision, as he settled in immediately thanks to the care and attention of the wonderful staff. The Home enables him to continue with his own lifestyle, meeting all his wants and needs. The family are delighted with the care and attention he is given and no longer worry about him." Linda W What our families say about us "I have been at Sheridan House for almost four months. I have a generously sized room with a balcony and lovely views over the sea to Berry Head. The staff are kind, helpful, and efficient and have coped with all the problems of lockdown in an amazing way. In their care full time, they are encouraged to join in the entertaining social program which is arranged for us. Thanks to management and staff." Resident
What our families say about us "All the staff at Brandon House, who are looking after my 95yr old mother with dementia are really caring people who go out of their way to make sure she is happy and secure.

What our families say about us "Wonderful position room overlooking fields and animals, pleasant outlook. Excellent staff, very friendly and helpful, lots of smiley faces.
Excellent food, like staying at a nice hotel. Nice to be able to bring your own personal effects; like photos, ornaments and pictures to make it feel more homely."
