Located just outside the heart of Exeter, Barton Place has built a reputation as one of the area’s most trusted care homes – and with good reason.

In this article, we’ll explore why Barton Place is a leading provider of specialist dementia care in Exeter, and what makes our approach uniquely personal, holistic, and family-focused.

Person-Centred Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care

At Barton Place, we believe there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to dementia care. Each resident is treated as an individual, with a carefully tailored care plan built around their history, preferences, and changing needs.

From memory-friendly environments to thoughtful routines that provide comfort and security, every aspect of life at Barton Place is designed to support the dignity, wellbeing, and independence of those living with dementia or Alzheimer’s.

A Skilled and Compassionate Team

Our dedicated staff undergo regular specialist training in dementia care, enabling them to provide not just medical and practical support, but also emotional understanding. We know that dementia can affect every individual differently, and our carers are equipped to manage complex behaviours, promote positive interaction, and respond with empathy at every stage.

Our low staff turnover also means familiar faces and trusting relationships, which are particularly important for residents experiencing cognitive decline.

A Safe, Comfortable and Stimulating Environment

Barton Place offers a thoughtfully designed living space with secure, accessible areas that promote freedom of movement while reducing anxiety and confusion. Bedrooms are comfortable and customisable, helping residents feel at home, and our communal spaces encourage social interaction and companionship.

Our beautiful gardens, daily activities, and dedicated wellbeing programme offer residents the chance to stay active and engaged in ways that are both meaningful and enjoyable.

Nutrition and Wellbeing That Supports Cognitive Health

Good nutrition is essential to overall health – and especially important in dementia care. At Barton Place, our in-house chefs prepare freshly cooked meals every day, tailored to each resident’s dietary needs and preferences.

We also place a strong emphasis on holistic wellbeing, offering music therapy, sensory stimulation, reminiscence activities, and gentle exercise – all proven to support cognitive function and emotional stability.

Working Together With Families

We understand that a dementia diagnosis affects not just the individual, but the entire family. At Barton Place, we make it a priority to involve loved ones at every step – from care planning to regular updates and open communication. We offer emotional support to families, host regular events, and maintain an open-door policy that helps build lasting trust.
