Nursing Care in Axminster

Nursing Care at Our Axminster Care Home

At Silverleigh Care Home, we understand that when a loved one needs ongoing medical support, finding the right care home can be a difficult time. It’s important to find somewhere you can trust that offers a blend between supportive and independent living in a calming and safe environment. Our nursing care in Axminster is shaped around those values and we ensure each resident is offered the same level of dignity and respect, no matter their care needs.

We provide long-term and palliative nursing care for older people with more complex needs, as well as post-hospital recovery support for those who are rebuilding their strength. Our experienced nurses work alongside dedicated carers to deliver around-the-clock care, all within an environment you can call home.

Whether you’re looking into care for yourself or a family member, we know that peace of mind is essential. Silverleigh is a well-respected nursing home in Axminster, known for our exceptional care and genuine relationships between staff, residents and families.

A Thoughtful Approach to Nursing Care in Axminster

Every individual we care for has different needs, so our approach is never one-size-fits-all. From the moment someone joins us at Silverleigh, we take the time to understand not only their medical requirements but also who they are as a person. This includes listening to their background, finding out their medical needs, learning about their favourite foods and what their interests are.

Our nursing care team supports residents with a wide range of conditions, including long-term illnesses, complex physical health needs and advanced dementia. We work closely with GPs, community health teams, physiotherapists and palliative specialists to ensure each resident receives care that improves their quality of life.

We know that for many families, the transition into nursing care is an emotional time, so we put great emphasis on communication, keeping loved ones informed and involved so they feel confident their relative is being looked after to the highest degree.

What Else is Available at Silverleigh?

At our Axminster care home, we’ve designed our environment to provide calmness, comfort and familiarity. Bedrooms are bright and spacious, each with an en-suite bathroom, and residents are welcome to bring their own belongings to help the space feel like their own.

Throughout the home, there are shared lounges and garden views that create a relaxed pace to daily life. We also have a reading room, a treatment and hair salon, and an in-house pub that many residents enjoy as a cosy place to chat or mark a special occasion.

Mealtimes are a central part of the day and our kitchen team takes great pride in preparing meals that are both nourishing and delicious. Whether someone requires a specialist diet or prefers to graze throughout the day, we adapt our menus accordingly. Mealtimes are flexible and unhurried, with support offered discreetly wherever needed.

Our private gardens offer a safe and peaceful place to sit, enjoy the flowers or spend time with visiting family. The raised beds and accessible paths mean residents can stay connected with nature without worry. Indoors and out, we’ve taken care to create a space where everyone can feel comfortable and relaxed, even during times of poor health.

Connecting With the Wider Community

Even when care needs become more advanced, we believe that staying connected to the world outside the home can make a meaningful difference. That’s why we offer a variety of gentle outings and community connections, tailored to the needs and abilities of our nursing residents.

Our home is within easy reach of Axminster’s charming town centre. While some residents enjoy the weekly market or a quiet coffee with a relative, others prefer simply to watch from the minibus as we take a scenic drive through the local countryside.

For those who enjoy time outdoors, we also visit places like Forde Abbey and Gardens. The grounds offer level walking paths, gentle water features and formal gardens that change beautifully with the seasons. It’s a calm and enriching space where residents can enjoy the scent of flowers, the sound of birdsong and the soothing presence of nature.

We’re also proud to have strong ties with local churches, musicians and schools who visit the home regularly to offer companionship, performances and intergenerational connection. These moments bring smiles, stimulate memory and provide a sense of belonging.

Seaton Beach is a 15-minute drive from us and we often visit this with our neighbouring care homes. It gives residents the chance to enjoy some time in the sun and fresh air with like-minded individuals and observe the wildlife.

It’s these experiences that help keep life full of small pleasures and ensure that nursing care remains rooted in living with the highest quality of life possible, not just managing health.
