One of Devon’s finest residential care homes
According to
the Office for National Statistics (2001 census) there were 2,393 people over
the age of 85 living in South Hams. Of these 30% (718) are likely to suffer
from dementia and require care. This figure will double within a generation.
It seems counterintuitive therefore that over the 11 years since the
census was completed more care homes have closed in South Hams than have been
opened leading many people considering residential care in the future to ask
themselves where, within a reasonable travelling distance, are they going to
find a suitable home?
Yvonne and Stephen Mould have long been committed to making HYNE
TOWN HOUSE one of the finest residential care homes in Devon. They recognised
the growing demand for high quality residential care and have recently
completed a comprehensive refurbishment and extension of their highly regarded
home in Strete, between Dartmouth and Kingsbridge. The
extension provides 9 new bedrooms all of which enjoy en-suite facilities,
satellite TV and under-floor heating. The rooms are large, bright and
individually decorated and furnished to a very high standard. They have also
created a new quiet lounge on the first floor, in addition to the 2 lounges on
the ground floor, with glorious sea views.
HYNE TOWN HOUSE currently employs over
30 local people. The extension will create additional opportunities for those
with experience and, as a recognised training provider, new recruits who wish
to take advantage of the excellent training provided to become highly qualified
care support staff.
The project incorporates 2 purpose-built Assisted
Living apartments which have been designed to encourage occupants to remain as
independent as possible but with the reassurance that expert help is
immediately at hand should the need arise. Each apartment is finished to an
exacting specification reflecting the ethos of the Home and will provide
luxurious surroundings for up to 2 people in each apartment. The generous
accommodation includes private entrance, living room with dining area, fitted
kitchen incorporating an oven, hob, fridge and washing machine, double bedroom
and large bathroom with shower. A large wall mounted flat-screen TV is
installed with satellite service provision.
With an aging population and families becoming ever
more dispersed, many of us are faced with the daunting responsibility of finding
first class care for family and friends. Discovering an elderly relative or
friend needs residential care is hard enough, finding the right home to provide
the dedicated care they require can be even harder. A visit to HYNE TOWN HOUSE
will help to make that decision for you.
