Residential Care in Axminster

At Silverleigh Care Home, we provide thoughtful and dependable residential care in Axminster in a setting that feels calm, familiar and full of life. Whether you’re actively searching for long-term care for a loved one or simply exploring options for the future, we offer the security of exceptional support alongside the comfort of a true home.

We believe that residential care should be centred entirely around each resident. That’s why we meet with residents and their families before they move in to find out their story, their preferences, and what really matters to them.

As a well-established care home in Axminster, we’re proud to offer somewhere that supports older people in enjoying a lifestyle full of the things they love most, with around-the-clock assistance and a kind, experienced team always close by.

Somewhere You Can Truly Call Home

At Silverleigh, providing residents with the highest levels of residential support so they can enjoy their days in comfort and confidence is at the heart of everything we do. Our care team supports those who may be finding life at home more difficult, whether due to age, reduced mobility, loneliness, cognitive impairments or a growing need for reassurance.

We offer assistance with all aspects of daily living, including washing, dressing, medication and meals, in a way that always protects each resident’s independence and dignity. Everyone who lives at Silverleigh receives a personalised care plan, developed in collaboration with them and their loved ones, so their routine, preferences and personality remain central to their care.

Some residents come to us after a period of struggling at home, perhaps after a fall or illness, while others are simply looking for a lifestyle that feels more sociable and supported. In all cases, we aim to create a smooth transition by making sure each new resident is welcomed, known and properly looked after from their very first day.

Daily Life at Our Care Home in Axminster

Life at Silverleigh is designed to be as comfortable, familiar and easy as possible. Each resident has an en-suite bedroom, which they are encouraged to personalise and make their own with any belongings, photos and furnishings. We understand how important it is to have a space that feels private and personal, and we take pride in helping residents settle in and feel at home from the moment they arrive.

The rest of the home is equally inviting, with spacious lounges, a reading room and welcoming dining areas where residents enjoy freshly prepared meals together. There is always the option to enjoy meals in private, but many residents find that sharing food and conversation is one of the highlights of their day.

Our private gardens also provide a peaceful spot for fresh air and gentle movement. With shaded seating, seasonal flowers and safe, level paths, it’s an ideal place to connect with nature or simply enjoy a slower pace. Indoors, we have a hair salon & treatment room, an in-house pub and a friendly team of carers who are always on hand to help however they can.

As a trusted nursing home in Axminster, we also work closely with GPs, district nurses and other local healthcare professionals to ensure that every resident receives the appropriate care at the right time. Whether someone joins us for long-term support or for a few weeks of respite, we’re here to provide continuity and comfort at every stage.

Things To Do in Axminster

We are proud to be part of a vibrant local community. As one of the longest-standing care homes in Axminster, we’ve built strong links with local groups, businesses and services, helping our residents stay connected to the town and the surrounding countryside.

Many of our residents’ favourite outings are in Axminster town centre for our weekly market trip. The market is a lovely mix of local produce, friendly traders and a familiar routine for those who’ve lived in the area for years. It’s a gentle outing that often sparks conversation and connection.

We also enjoy attending local events on Minster Green, from music performances to seasonal fairs and community gatherings. The green offers a lively but manageable setting that allows residents to get involved at their own pace.

For nature lovers, we’re fortunate to be close to the Trinity Hill Local Nature Reserve. It is a peaceful area of woodlands and meadows that offers fresh air and a change of scenery, even if only for a short stroll or a picnic beneath the trees.

Another favourite at Silverleigh is the Axe Valley Wildlife Park. They have a wide range of animals from flamingos and owls to zebras and lemurs, which our residents love watching and talking about. Many of our residents had pets when they were younger, so it encourages them to share their stories with us and other residents.

These regular outings help to maintain a sense of independence and adventure, even within a supported setting. They remind us that moving into a care home is just the start of the next chapter, and that connection to the wider world remains essential to well-being.
