Our dedicated team at Ivydene nursing home
At Ivydene Nursing Home, many of our team have been here for years, many over a decade and more, which makes Ivydene feel like a warm, welcoming home with staff who treat our residents like family.

Our residents enjoy a range of activities, including:
- arts and crafts
- games nights
- coffee mornings
- pamper sessions in our hairdressing salon
The team are passionate about finding out who our residents are as individuals, their life histories and their passions, so we can enrich their lives with truly person-centred care. Like Terry, a retired police officer (read more below), who has lived a fascinating life!
Respite care at our care home in Devon
As well as providing residential, nursing, dementia and palliative care, we also offer respite care breaks. It is essential for caregivers of elderly relatives to take a break. At Ivydene, we provide short-term and long-term respite care breaks to make this possible.
These can be pre-booked in advance, so you can take a holiday knowing your loved one is in safe hands and even enjoying a change of scenery too!
We can support with respite care breaks for people living with dementia, those with nursing and palliative care needs, as well as residential respite.
For information about respite care, or for more about at life at Ivydene, our Enquiry Support Team are here to talk on 01752 526 885.
